Part of the problem on Sunday were the multiple airport closures due to incidents that would send everyone back around the various lake holds, and they closed just 9/27 at least once for special arrivals (such as Doc, which needed to back taxi because they weren't about to taxi in the grass...

:D:D:D In that case definitely look at the tank capacity (both fresh and grey water). It's a slight adjustment to showering normally in that one should really not just let the water run... it's surprising how quickly one can drain their fresh water tanks (and fill the grey) taking normal...

And if so, can we just have a brick next to his with this on it: :rolleyes:

Actually, that was another story he told. Student had a pretty good written test, but missed questions related to LAHSO. As always, test gave him the ACS standards to revisit. DPE reviewed the logbook, saw that the CFI had signed off on topical review, and the DPE simply asked, "So, tell me...

Saw it on the ground and was really impressed by how clean this was. Very nice airplane, and a very well-deserved award and recognition.

I was in a forum at Oshkosh and the DPE presenting noted exactly this. He had some great tips for those about to do a checkride, and it all seems VERY common sense, but sometimes that stuff isn't obvious until someone says it. A few of the things he noted: Do your homework on the airplane. Get...

I'm in.

The large tent they originally had them under collapsed during the storm on Saturday night and struck (and damaged) several of the aircraft. Decent chance they were attending to some of the damage that was wrought by the tent collapse. I saw some pretty significant body damage (appeared to not...

Can confirm. The electric/water sites are hella expensive. Getting a smaller trailer and generator will almost definitely be cheaper. The one downfall to that is either needing to be in the 24-hour generator zone (which is... not enjoyable in the least), or not use the genny (and a/c) at night...

Awwww, man. I don't want anyone to have an "incident" at OSH, but this one just hurts.

Sounds like there's FOD on the runway, as they're sending a power sweep down to the area of the incident. Rough way to start a show that hasn't even started yet.

Saw on the Vintage cam emergency services hauling toward the approach end of 36L... and on Ultralight cam, looks like something departed the runway after the purple dot. Hoping everyone is okay.

appears to be an aircraft on the grass off the east side of 36L :( Emergency services on scene.

Looks like 5 rows in N40 already.

They're having problems right now with not enough flagfolks, so planes landing have no idea where to go once they pull off into the grass. Though... you know... a lot of that would be in the NOTICE if it was studied well.

Definitely interested in this! Now you have me wanting to bring my road bike and my Oshkosh bike. :D

Same here, minus the hand slapping. Ken Kellogg (RIP, sir) was as old school as they come (worked for Beech for a long time, flying Twin Beeches and a bunch of other fun stuff). He drilled it into me to do no configuration changes unless we were either stopped, off the runway, or slowed down...

I think I'll likely pick up some sort of aviation transceiver, such as an icom. Any particular recommendations?

This will be my fifth... and still haven't seen everything.
