The World Comes to EAA AirVenture from Alabama Aviator - Aviation News
OSHKOSH WI- A quick look around the grounds today revealed an exciting new look for 2009 at AirVenture 2009. A new main gate entrance was dedicated Sunday with two Pratt and Whitney 1830 engine-and-propeller sculptures.
"This entrance is the start of a journey to keep Oshkosh the premier aviation event in the world." Poberezny said. "When designing the entrance, maintaining the culture but still keeping it fresh and modern was kept in mind."
All though AirVenture are seen additional new benches for resting, flushing toilets, new signage and specially planted green shade areas. The "Brown Arch" the original and traditional entry to the Oshkosh flightline in 1971 is now a meeting area complete with engraved bricks, benches and landscaping.

I don't accept free food (other than some water) so I'm vacating to make the rounds on the grounds and see what average folks I can run into.
But the EAA deserves great credit for its effort to get people to tell the story of aviation. It's important to note that the organization does not pressure media in any way to bend the message of any of the "working media." ...
