Morons indeed. I had a canard pusher zip between the glider I was flying
and the tow plane 200 feet ahead near Boulder, CO this morning. It wasn't
an aircraft I recognized so I assume it was headed for OSH. I didn't get
the "N" number so he won't hear about it.


It hit 105 in Boulder today. It must take forever for the tow plane to get
you up. How is it flying a glider in this weather? Better or worse than cold
for finding lift - or is overall temp not an issue?

Dunno about the gliders, but I'm leaving at 6 am on Sat. for Iowa
City from Front Range (about 50 sm from Boulder) to try and avoid
the heat at altitude. Around here, my 180 hp engine is pushing
maybe 103 hp.

Those idiot controllers would do better to stop laughing and start
concentrating on their job. I've witnessed far too many controller
****-ups at OSH. Best to lose the party atmosphere at Fisk, on the
moocows, and in the tower and start doing their job.

With 50,000 EAA types you're lucky it isn't raining aluminum and tube
and fabric.

Thanks Jay, Have wanted to meet you guys since reading about your hotel
last year. Take Care!

Really? I've been there for 23 years, and I've only seen ONE (count 'em,
one) controller f*ck up -- and that was an error of omission (not clearing a
guy to land when he was on short-final) rather than one of commission.

Given the thousands of operations I've witnessed, that's pretty amazing.

Which isn't to say I haven't witnessed dozens of screw ups -- but they've
all (with that one exception) been pilot errors.
