Default Biggest bonehead moves flying into OSH?

The bigger issue remains the bone-heads who have no clue about the
arrival procedure, don't know anything about the NOTAM, and call in at
the 5 mile point on the Class D asking "for clearance" as one Canadian
Mooney last Sunday did (they were not too happy with him, but much to
my frustration the contollers worked with him rather than sending him
off somewhere else. It happens every year (and this year more than
once).


Like the guy landing on Friday when told: "cleared to land 27 green
dot" said: "Whats that mean?". Controller replied, after a very
audible sigh on the frequency, "see that big green dot on the runway?
land on it"

The other issue is those who get mixed up and try to land on the wrong
runway (like landing on 9 rather than the 50 people landing on 27),
which will get you a visit from the FSDO folks REAL QUICK. (which I
witnessed the other day up close).


Care to share? You witnessed the FSDO folks or the person landing on
9?
