“easier access and departure from the AirVenture grounds"
This is what EAA says, and yet they’ve CLOSED the Blue Lot to all but the ‘special people’ that used to park perfectly well within the grounds. The Blue Lot is what I’ve used FOREVER; all you had to do was get up early enough and you were parked right next to the main gate. Then, if you needed to get back to your car to drop off something you purchased it was a quick walk. Now you have to spend 45 minutes to take a shuttle. And I hate to think how crowded that shuttle is going to be at the end of the airshow. How is that “easier access”?
I’m seriously considering never attending again.
(Sorry, I know this wasn’t the subject of this article, but I had to get this off my chest.)
