OSHKOSH

Postby Nkwazi » Wed Jul 24, 2013 9:23 pm

Ok, own up. Who's going to Oshkosh? It's a year since Thatchman, Dish, Ratman, Gaylord, Rob McFie, Andy, Duck and myself hit Wisconsin.
So to any of you going, have an absolute blast!! It's one hell of a thing.

Was there in 2010. So 2014 will be a good time to go again. Lets make a MISASA block booking and start saving now for 2014. :idea: (^^)

Now that would cause some rumbles with a certain editor if "thugs" had to do a block booking and spoil every chance of him looking for a platform to bleat from?

Agreed. Dont want to be associated with something that someone takes ownership of and tries to represent everyone.

Was bored so considered the option of renting an RV camper from Chicago. Have a look what a nice trip that is and what types of campers you can hire. (^^)

If you want to have just an indication of what the traffic is like, have a look at the SOP's for the different runways, landing up to 4 aircraft at the same time on the same runway!! (You get allocated a DOT) and that is on 18R only, there is still 18L as well AND then they have trafic landing on the Cross runway AT THE SAME TIME.

Have a look at this: http://www.airventure.org/atc/flows.html

You have to have BIG ones to fly into Oshkosh.
