OSH '07 Redux -- Pix & Video
There have been some clowns out there showing up in non-warbirds over
Warbird Island calling the tower to come in rather than flying the whole Ripon-Fisk procedure, because "they were too high performance" for that. It's become a bit of a problem because the warbird arrival is not designed to take a whole lot of traffic, which then has to sequence in with all the rest of us coming in thru Ripon-Fisk. There are non- standard arrivals using the "prison approach" and warbird island, but those are usually by prior arrangement and for those who are coming in and out frequently (like the Cirrus and Remos G-3 LSA demo's out of Orion aviation on the north ramp, the Ford trimotor, and especially during the first and last part of the day for the photo ops planes and their subjects). If you are lucky enough to get an IFR slot all the way to OSH (as opposed to getting dumped 60 miles out), then you will be sequenced for a straight in to what-ever runway is being used, this being co- ordinated between Chicago Center and OSH tower. It's a work of art, and it's always being tweaked. It's amazing that it works as well as it does. IMHO. Ryan (EAA Flight Line Ops) |
