Agree completely. Was listening to the live ATC broadcast, and someone in a
Canadian registered plane calls up and starts talking, also in the wrong
place and completely oblivious. The controller asked him if he had the
arrival notams and where exactly he was, but the guy said he did not have
the information, and was around 5 southwest.

The controller was a model of cool, and went through the normal procedures
to identify the guy and get him sequenced. It's amazing that more crashes
don't actually occur.


That's BS.. "Sir, turn around and fly at least 100 miles in the opposite
direction. Land. Get the notam. Study it and know it. Then takeoff
and fly the procedure."

Ahhh... I'd think the last thing I'd want to do it take some one who
has already proven themselves to be completely clueless turn around
and fly *toward* all those airplanes coming into Oshkosh. If he's 5
SW he's already in the dense traffic with far more coming toward him
than away.
