Neat!Last year I spent my lunch there watching arriving aircraft. As a Tripacer was departing, I noticed it climbing away a little too steep and slow. It finally nosed over and then mushed over on the left wing, striking the ground. Pretty terrifying. And also surreal as no one else actually realized there was a problem (lots of non-pilots/non aviation enthusiast around there!). No one was killed, thankfully. Year before that was the Breitling Mustang crash I observed:-\ Anyway, very interesting to watch that chaotic scene, but nail biting too.

Now showing the Beech "mass arrivals..." Along with some Cessna stragglers. Apparently last night's weather delayed quite a few... ;)

Thanks for the link Bill. I'll be watching my flying partner fly our plane in on my iphone as I drive in..<edit> Doesn't work on the iphone-drat.

Well, that stinks. I just watched 'em tow away some a/c on a lowboy that'd gone splat while I wasn't watching... :(

Hmmm I saw a mooney touchdown almost sideways in that crosswind, but that was around 4:15pm centralWonder if it was the same one?

It may have bee a Mooney on the lowboy, but could not have been the one you saw.I've just watched a flight of 26 TBM Avengers perform a mass arrival... It looked like one of the old "war movies" with all the a/c arriving in close sequence! :(

Oh no you're not!(gonna keep the other thread on top)... :( The tower controllers who volunteer their time every year are simply the "best of the best" there are, anywhere in the world...I must confess though that I'm astonished that the "other thread" has had twice the number of views as this one......and here I've been all these years thinking that the members/visitors here at AVSIM were actually interested in aircraft!Silly me! :(

Thanks for the link! Great stuff! I'm really enjoying. First time I've ever heard the "green dot"; "purple dot"; "yellow dot" being used. Not really sure what they mean but suspect they put something on the runways? Jim

Douglas A26 inbound just under the wire before Osh closes for the night

He just barely made it! Cool. :(

You are correct. They put the dots on the runway and then assign you a dot to land on. That way you get multiple airplanes landing on the same runway at the same time.

Here is a chart showing the locations of the color "dots" on36L...

Thanks Geofa for the response and excellent info. Thank to Bill too for the chart. This is all very interesting! Jim

No problem. This morning they are using 18L/18R. The Ford Trimotor is busy flying circuits with paying pax, and there are still a lot of arrivals and departures... Very busy morning!If anyone is looking right now, you can see the "blue dot" just past the numbers on 18R.
