Even though the MAX/MIN speed limit is 135 Kts (or 90), remember that some idiots think that they should fly at their slowest speed possible, so be prepared to fly behind them.

After landing at Fond Du Lac (the finish line is 8 miles SE), last year we flew from there to OSH as a flight of fifty, fastest plane first - What a piece of cake. We land the day before OSH formally opens and park in a special area. Try it next year.
