It's scary to think that people launch toward OSH without studying the
NOTAM in advance -- but some do.

I realize I'm new to all this, ~75 hours, new plastic card and all, but
I cannot imagine starting even a short cross country without looking up
all this information and writing it on my flight planning log. Much
less going into OSH or SnF without talking to someone who's been AND
getting the NOTAMs etc. I have to say, my reaction to all this is if I
ever get to OSH, I'll drive. My main remaining fear in flying is mid
air collision and this seems like a prime recipie for that.

I think something Jay said in one of the other threads is correct, this
is the only cross country people make all year. And they are
irresponsible. Sigh. I hope GA is aorund for my kids, but I begin to
wonder...
