Wednesday, not even counting Ultralights and Helicopters, the tower at AirVenture handled 3,223 operations !

Cool Cam Spot Right Now.... Line Up On Runway 18R listening to 18L ....they shoot em out faster then we did on a Alpha Strike on the Carrier!Listening to the controllers is mesmerizing..You can give allot of credit to the ATC guys in pink for managing the departures and arrivals in such quick order BUT, The Pilots flying into and out of Oshkosh deserve much of the credit. 1. You have to fly your plane 2. listen to ATC without response back 3. look at the traffic ahead, left & right. 4. figure out where you ARE where you will be, and worry about everyone elso around you too...... Definitively no place for a 20hr student PPL.

You have it right here (credit to the Pilot's). This year one of my flying partner's flew in and the controllers put a slower plane in front of him-and asked the slower plane to land on the farther dot and my partner to land on the closer one. This lead to quite a challenge as my flying partner had to slow the plane almost to red line to accomodate-he almost went around but was able to do a few s turns and keep it at a too slow config. However, not the best situation and it would have been better for atc to have him land long and the slower aircraft land at the short dot. It worked out-but it can be very tricky for the pilot's..

Sadly Todays Departures mean 51 more weeks until we can watch the caos again....One Day I am Going!!!!!!!!!!!!
