Default OSH vs SnF

I have NEVER been as scared as I was on some of the Oshkosh and Sun 'n Fun
arrival and departure procedures. I'm not going back.


This year was my first year to make it all the way to OSH and actually land
there. The sky was full of airplanes from Ripon onward, but nothing happened
that scared me. I realize that luck plays a role in this, but the same can
be said for operations at Weiser, where I *have* had the crap scared out of
me by a Baron that veered off the runway and was headed straight for me at
the gas pump.

Yes, OSH and SnF are dangerous, but given the historical ratio of
fatals/operation, not dangerous enough to scare me off. Living is dangerous.
