How many pilots practice procedures at that airport, Wittman Regional? In preparing for our first trip to Oshkosh in 2002, I practiced the approaches & landings in X-Plane at KOSH. I noticed that one of the difficult approaches was for 18 Right ... crossing over the 9-27 runway at 1,000 ft and then landing. When we got there in a 172, sure enough ... that was the runway they gave us. Years later in our Rutan VariEze I practiced before the trip IN RAIN in X-Plane. We had noticed on a previous trip to Oshkosh that we probably were not prepared for the rain that is almost always there during the week. So we planned on loading the airplane with rain in mind, and I practiced in X-Plane in rainy weather. That year, 2009 IIRC, we arrived over Ripon in rain. We landed, taxied to Homebuilt Camping, and set up our tent ... in the rain. Be prepared. Practice the NOTAM procedures at Wittman Regional in a simulator. You will have more fun.
They have two dots per runway. They land faster aircraft on the first dot, or at the threshold, and slower aircraft farther down. They can get tons of aircraft safely down like this each day.
It’s insane to watch and even crazier when you’re flying in. Got to do that with my son 5 years ago, had to drive last year. Hope to go again. Camping by your plane is so much fun! I’m just a passenger but still love it. Experience of a lifetime.
So, I'd hate to see one of those tents or awnings blow across the runway just as an airplane is touching down... I wonder if anybody inspects those things... dunno, maybe it's just me, but it all sounds just a bit too hectic for my comfort level. Must be real exciting for beginners.
What percentage of that fleet was designed in the 70s or before? Also computerized ATC and autopilot could handle 5 times as many planes. Oshkosh would be a good test case for such a protocol.
Do you have any example of this kind of traffic controlled by computerized ATC? If not, you just talking bullshit. Stand up from your MS flight sim, and go touch some grass on real airfield.
The only time I could see computerized ATC being useful would be at a commercial international airport... The varying skill and competency of all the pilots and different planes coming into osh would mean danger for all
Don’t get it, what’s so appealing about spending millions on a plane to land on a runway and sit around doing nothing, people really have too much time on there hands
Gosh i hope someday i can witness this live! what a feast of a show!
GA is alive and well
Love the corresponding radio traffic with the landing traffic. Keep it coming please!
I spy with my little eye a super silly Comanche 250 @0:57 ... justplanesilly
Heck yeah!!!!
@@JustPlaneSilly I thought that plane looked familiar! You're famous, Bryan!
@@JustPlaneSilly I saw that too, watched it three times to make sure. Too bad they didn't catch your landing. 🤘🇺🇸🛩️
Nothing like watching other people land at a fly-in to make you feel better about your own skills.
Fun video to watch! Kind of mesmerizing... I can see why people pull up chairs and watch arrivals at Osh.
I went in 94, in the rush to leave before the airshow they had arrivals on the right-hand side of the runway, take-offs on the left... it was crazy
Some of those landings were like:
Pilot: How much forward slip?
ATC: Yes, and better do it fast
Flew in there once, drove in twice .... Boss said take the MU2 and fly some of the staff to Oshkosh for the day .... I said are you nuts ????
Amazing video!
wow that last tail dragger almost ate a prop
that's me fist pumping at 7:30!
Very Nice!

GREAT VID
SO COOL. Hoping to go next year.
Amazing VFR sequencing
So how many of you counted the number of times he said GREEN DOT ?? 125 times ? ♥♥
Heard it 37 times, probably some more hidden in the airplane sounds.
Heeeeey Mariano!!
A-freaking-mazing!
So it would be interesting to know the count of arrivals during the week?
So, are they landing two planes on the same runway, landing some at the threshold on an orange marker, and other half way down on a green marker?

I see why he needs the helmet

I’ve been going since the late 1980s. There are several deaths on site or enroute to the field each year.

I'd prefer another human to direct me under such circumstances.

@Dan Frederiksen :: Telling everyone that you're not a pilot without saying you're not a pilot.

Obviously you have never been to osh and don't enjoy planes

As in, "They're landing their plane over there."
You're welcome.
