RAP & RAH Oshkosh field frequency

Since you'll be there so many days, I'd plan activities around any
forums you want to hear. Get the schedule off of the airventure.org site.

On my first visit back at the first named "AirVenture (R)" we drove into
the site. Coming off the highway I looked at all the vehicles parked
along Rwy 9-27 and commented "Wow! Look at all the cars parked there."
As we got closer I noticed "Hey! Those aren't cars."

I was there for 4 days, and spent the first 3 days just walking around
seeing what was there. I then realized that we had walked by almost
everything, but hardly spent time at any one thing. There were some
speakers and workshops I would have liked to attend during those days
that were no longer available.

There's an incredible brain trust on that airport that week. Take
advantage of it. I would especially take time to hear Hoover,
Crossfield, Yeager, Anderson, etc. speak. They won't be around forever.
Make sure don't miss hearing them in your lifetime. Adm. Stockdale
spoke there a couple years ago with his absolutely fascinating military
story. He's no longer with us.

Or the controller laughing in the background.

Those idiot controllers would do better to stop laughing and start
concentrating on their job. I've witnessed far too many controller
****-ups at OSH. Best to lose the party atmosphere at Fisk, on the
moocows, and in the tower and start doing their job.

Really? I've been there for 23 years, and I've only seen ONE (count 'em,
one) controller f*ck up -- and that was an error of omission (not clearing a
guy to land when he was on short-final) rather than one of commission.

Given the thousands of operations I've witnessed, that's pretty amazing.

Which isn't to say I haven't witnessed dozens of screw ups -- but they've
all (with that one exception) been pilot errors.
