          Sometimes we do, but it usually involves A LOT of empty beer cans!

            Having done both events (Oshkosh just once), the big difference for me is that unless you have access to a photo plane at Oshkosh the photography is much better at Reno. For me Oshkosh was actually too big with too many airplanes and the crowds were truly daunting. Oshkosh was great fun, especially as I was there with a featured airplane crew, but I was quite disappointed with my photographic results. Lots of pretty airplane pictures but nothing that stood out for me. I remember some of Connor's shots from Oshkosh 2016 that were great, but I can't say the same for mine.

              Neal would you still say that Reno is better for photos without having media credentials? I feel like Oshkosh is much better for airshow photos for spectators, you can get a lot closer to the action. Plus you have the sun at your back for the entire show. The backdrop at Reno is much better though.

              Oshkosh can certainly be overwhelming, I had the advantage of learning the grounds purely as a spectator before I started getting serious with a camera.

              This was originally about the number and variety of Warbirds that you get to see. The only two shows that I can think of that top Oshkosh in those terms would be Planes of Fame and Duxford.

              I am very biased though.

              The other thing Oshkosh is great for, is lining up wide photos, which I did a lot of this year.
