oh my god... I can't imagine someone being THAT inept. I would not have
let the guy in, but, then again, I get kinda persnickety about idiotic
stuff sometimes. I'm going to share that file though!!!!!

Which situation would the ATC have had his behind on the line for had
something happened? helping guide him into OSH knowing he wasn't
prepared, or refusing to do that and insisting that he turn around and
go back?

ATC did us all a favor getting this guy out of the airspace and onto the
ground as quickly as possible. I would give the controller a big atta
boy for recognizing the bad situation and resolving it quickly. That is
what makes the controllers at OSH so special. We can disapprove of the
pilot's incompetence, but the controller did an outstanding job.

However, a friendly message could be sent to the owner saying that at this
time and place someone in his plane really acted like a jerk (and send the
link). He could make his own conclusions. Otherwise, as oblivious as he was,
how will he ever know?

Another smaller example- I was invited to a meeting at the American Club in
Kohler, WI, which is a pretty posh place. To enter the front of the hotel
there is a circle off of the main road- in at one end and out at the other,
and very well marked. As we tried to exit, the whole traffic line was
blocked by a guy going in the exit, against all traffic and with the do not
enter sign in clear sight.

This typifies the same behavior as the guy who flew into OSH without
bothering to read the notams- they simply don't care about other people,
common courtesy, or safety. They just do what happens to be convenient for
them at the moment, but don't want to take responsibility for their own
actions if something goes wrong.

My impression of these oblivious and self centered idiots is that they
really don't care what other people think- the rules simply don't apply to
them.

Jesus H Tap-Dancing CHRIST On a Bicycle!! How can someone be such an
idiot, and how can the controllers be so accomodating??

I'm especially ****ed because I was busted on a VIP TFR violation a
few months ago, as I've posted here before. NO safety hazard
whatsover to anybody, unless you count the airport manager running
around huffin' n' puffin' trying to find the culprit after a call from
ATC. So let's see, what do I get? An automatic 30 day suspension, no
reprieve, PLUS a probable ADDITIIONAL 15 days for not getting a
pre-flight briefing.

THIS f***ing idiot hasn't checked JACK-**** about anything, and he
gets the red-carpet treatment from the controllers as a big favor.

@#$!# the FAA.

You will, at some point.

js my reaction to all this is if I ever get to OSH,
js I'll drive. My main remaining fear in flying is mid air
js collision and this seems like a prime recipie for that.

Nahhh...get another 100-200 hours, and 50-75 hours in the past
year, and you'll be good. Or fly it the first time with a more
experienced hand in the right seat.

They could always delay him in the taxi route.

Not without delaying everyone behind him.
