Default "Airplane Drivers" and "Self Centered Idiots"

Dudley explains
You also have to remember Oshkosh is a flying environment that few
pilots (relatively speaking) get exposed to and for those that go it's
the only time many of them are exposed to that kind of flying.


Yuppers. That's me. And that's why last year, when I took the putt-putt
to OSH (instead of that United 747 to ORD, then into ATW) I invited
a couple friends who had flown to OSH a number of times. For the last
leg (about an hour) DS flew the route along the tracks and did the
landing. I kept my head swiveling and was absolutely astonished at
the traffic -- and how close all those other airplanes were!

Would I do the landing next time? I'm not sure. I had been practicing
very small patterns and attempting spot landings but I'm convinced
that I wouldn't have done well at OSH.
