Top Ten Things that Suck About Oshkosh
I would hope they knew me by my real name, not Viperdoc. If not, they can
come in and line up for another set of rectal exams. No wonder they didn't remember your face! ;-O -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Hmmm. Where does one go with such a statement? How does one proceed? ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

There are LARGE national conventions taking place at Oshkosh. All there needs to be is a fence in-between where the people are staying and having the convention, and where the runway access is, and the security issue is moot. That is exactly my point, Jim. Fences are going up at every airport at each airport's expense. Post 9/11 our airport manage was told they had to put up a fence and control all access to the airport movement areas. Time was anyone could walk out the door of the FBO and stroll around looking at airplanes. Not anymore. Flew out of Canton Akron Friday (CAK - Ohio). CAK has quite a bit of regional airline traffic. My plane had been tied down for a week, and I showed up at 11:15 pm to head home. FBO was closed. Drove to the gate (could see my plane) and called the security number listed. Got the Sheriff. He said he have someone call me. About 10 minutes later, a Deputy called me. He didn't know gate code or procedure to open it. I then called airport operations number I found on a different sign attached to the fence. I explained my situation. They said they'd send someone over. After 15 minutes of waiting, I called back. They said they'd send someone over soon. After about another 20 minutes, an operation guy shows up with a Sheriff in tow. They open gate, take my license number and escort me to my plane to make sure key works. They sat on tarmac while I pre-flighted the plane, started up and taxi'd out. I arrived at FBO at 11:15 and left the ground at 12:45 due to delay. Hard to fault them, but life in the post-9/11 world can really be a PITA sometimes. Jeff |
