john,

Yes, we expect SnF to be as challenging. We studied the NOTAMS
carefully, read as much as we could on Oshkosh experience and did some
Oshkosh-like patternworks few days before the trip. We were very
surprised to see that the arrivals at RIIPON and FISKE were quite
orderly. All hell broke loose when we were in downwind with at least a
dozen of planes all different sizes and speeds all funneled into rwy
27. We have attended a number of flyin events so this experience was
not exactly stressful but it was not fun either.

The landing on the colored dots system only worked when all pilots
have the skills to do exactly what to expect of them. There is no way
of anticipating what types of planes or pilots would be sharing the
runway with you

If we are to go back to Oshkosh, it will my turn to be the landing
PIC. I would not mind landing at KOSH but may check out Jim's
suggestion.
