Hmmm... Let's extend the OSH arrivals to night... That should make for a
little more adrenaline in flying the approach... grin

I like to listen to the tower, especially in the last 15 minutes or so, before
they close for the night.

They keep reminding everyone what time they will be closing, and inevitably,
someone calls up and gives a position report of " I'm out _ _ miles, and will I
be allowed to land?" The tower says, "as long as you are here before close
time." The guy keeps going, and calls in a little later, and says, "it looks
like I will be about two minutes late, will I be able to land?" The tower says
very firmly, "if you are not wheels on the runway by close time, you WILL be
violated."

No gray area, there! G

Overall, the pink shirts do a remarkable job. Only once, two years ago, did I
hear a guy on the mike that was making a mess out of everything. He didn't stay
on more that 15 minutes, then I didn't hear him, again.
