  My membership just ran out and I am wandering whether I want to renew it after Arlington.
 They stuck me and the rest of the auto conversions way out in BFE with the certified plane camping section, they only had two rows for RV's and only two rows for all other homebuilt planes and the rest of the flight line was for war birds antiques and classics with C-172's and Cherokees in the lineup.
 What the hell does EAA stand for.

Well,  I just got home after 5 days camping with my experimental plane on row 121 at OSH.

I won't bore you with all the gory details, but I will say that it will be a while before Tom & Company get any more of my money beyond my membership dues.  There was some talk among attendees of starting a new organization (Homebuilt Aviation Association?) & having a separate flyin.  Speaking with some of the long-term volunteers at OSH, it seems that Paul P. is more than a little disgusted with the direction his son has taken the 'flyin'. 
Since it's now obvious that EAA & Airventure can survive just fine without experimental aviation, one thought was to approach the senior P. about adding some younger blood to his SAA & attending his Frasca field flyin next year instead of the 'AirVenture'  Carnival. Those of you who believe that changes are in order, please make your feelings known.
