Warbirds, you are not welcome at Oshkosh.


We've all got our pet peeves when it comes to other pilots. Around
here, where we don't see warbirds on a regular basis during daily
flying, it's the RV "squadron" who do high-speed, low passes down
Lake Sammamish, or the Mustang replica pilot who does his "overhead
break" to a landing at the airport, or any number of other pilots
doing stupid pilot tricks.



How is an overhead break a "stupid pilot trick?"


Just FYI: For those still learning about piloting (like myself) who like to
see illustrations of these things, or those who would like to read a
summary of the origin and history of the "overhead break," this site seems
to be handy:
