Normally I go over IFR across the lake with my route being 3BS D- LDM
(NDB) D- LDN (VOR) D- OSH.


That's a helluva route. LDN VORTAC is in Virginia. Perhaps you meant
3BS..LDM..MTW..OSH.

access to archives seems to be down at this time.

This week LiveATC is in the process of upgrading the archive server to a
much larger and faster box. Once complete, feed archives will go from
seven-day retention to over thirty-day retention.

"Hello."
"OSH Tower here. Montblack?"
"Yes?"
"If we send one up to Green Bay, would you mind picking him up in your
minivan?"
"Wilco."

S.P.M.
My mid-week dorm roommate was from Seattle. He works for Boeing. I drove up
to Green Bay, from OSH, and picked him up. On Sunday morning, in an early
morning downpour, I drove him back up to (GRB) Austin Straubel International
Airport. Nice terminal building.

Arrival: Thur (6pm) from MSP.
Depart: Sun (9am) to MSP.

2(60+60) = 240 miles, burns 10 gal x $3 = $30. He was happy :-)

OK, found the exchange and edited the clip to only contain the relevant
communications for anyone interested in hearing it. Note that the
LiveATC
OSH feed is monitoring a few different frequencies, so there are a couple
of sections where some of the ATC or pilot's comms are clipped.


Thanks much for putting that clip together. I have always feared somehow
finding a way to be the stupidest SOB coming into OSH. Now I see that the
competition is far too steep for this to be a valid concern.

Gawd, that's just embarrassing to listen to.

I think the real lesson here is that *any* pilot who speaks up on the OSH
frequency next year will be subjected to this kind of scrutiny from his/her
peers.

I can easily imagine that if a pilot that hangs around here ever pulled that
at OSH he would quickly become someone that used to hang around here.

This clip needs to be part of an FAA Safety Seminar in every region.

Ron,

That is a frighteningly common occurrence. We call those runways 18
Left, 18 Right, and 18 Wrong (Papa).

Cheers,

One year, one of the other volunteers and I were sitting next to the
"MOO-COW" (the trailer the controllers run departures from on the
runway) when Aluminum Overcast was on short final for 27 at OSH.

I turned to my friend and asked if he had ever seen the beginning of
"12 O'Clock High" where the B-17 lands belly up, and if that was war
footage or not?

Alum. Overcast then touches down, loses it, almost runs over the
controller on the far side (who was filming the whole thing, until it
came right at him, then it was sky-ground-sky-ground-sky as he sprinted
away), then almost hit a mixmaster whose crew bailed out with engines
running, and came damn close to smashing into the VOR!

I shut up and didn't ask anymore stupid questions...

True story.

I can vouch for Ryan on this one. I was there. I did finally watch
"12 O'Clock High" after that.

Did anyone else see the Lancasters' colossal bounce when it touched
down on 27?

Made me feel better about my own flying!


As one who has bounced clear over the green dot in my Luscombe, I
humbly take the attitude of "There but for the grace of God" when I see
a bad landing. There are a few, though, that are just truly
jaw-dropping.
