Oshkosh Bound Posters, Approach Procedures, and Such

No argument from me, but an observation. The controllers are good at
getting the spacing, and it is usually at altitudes under 200 feet, when
things get messed up, by someone not exiting the runway when they are
supposed to, or someone not landing on the correct portion of the runway.

Yes, the controllers at OSH are excellent at what they do.

I've seen all kinds of things done, including s turns (if nobody is close
behind you, for you to mess up) and even 360's. Anything is fair game, if
the controllers tell you to do it, and if you feel capable. The go-arround
and saying unable if always a good way out.

Now that I think about it, I do remember hearing a controller tell
someone on final to do a few S-turns for spacing.

Who has their "wheel boards" ready?

Montblack, are you selling any at the show?

Oh damn, I forgot to check the line shed to see if they're still there.
And the tie downs. Since I'll be the first club plane to leave, I think
I've got a good chance of getting them.

Yes ...and no. I made 10 sets of 3, or 15 sets of 2 g

3/4 inch plywood (16" x 12")

A flat 2x3 (cut 30°) is screwed, from underneath, to one end - as a chock.

I'll scrounge up some loose boards for backside chocking tonight.

10 of them have no chock board screwed on - just in case (?)

FREE. Keep em, or leave em behind. They were a scrap theater set.

They might (or might not) get primer'd today :-)

I did them up months ago ...then forgot they were in the garage. Thus, no
paint,
yet.

If 16" isn't enough, next year they'll get cut ...longer.

Contact me if you want a set. We'll get them to you.
7 sets (of 3) are not spoken for.

Give me your name and N-Number
Type of plane and color.
Your Cell number. I'll give you mine, etc.
Day to expect you.

Then your location on the field - when you arrive.

Is this guy good, or what?
I certainly hope anyone who partakes of a set delivers just compensation!

Just com-en-get-em.

If (when) you do leave the clunkers behind, put them by a shower building or
the road, etc. I'll write "FREE Please take!" ...on the bottoms.

Montblack,
What gate and what time do you usually try to get your vehicle on the
north 40 for the party prep? I might be able to help you out.
Drop me an email on this.

For those asking about when it will be busy, watch out for Saturday
afternoon, that is the scheduled arrival of all the various mass fly-in
groups.

See you on the North 40!
