Nice RV8. Flared real high and dropped it on. Gear failed and had to be loaded on a trailer.

Since they didn't define what that means, I think it's likely that they're going to have plenty that are heavier than they meant...
"This TBM isn't THAT heavy..."

According to who? This is what they sent out:
OSHARRIVAL, OPEN TO GA, BUT NO HEAVY SINGLES, NO TWINS. NO VINTAGE OR HOMEBUILT PARKING AVAILABLE . MORE UPDATES TO FOLLOW
Shortly thereafter, they sent another one saying homebuilt parking was open.
In any case... Time to listen to LiveATC! This should be good...

Well, I just snagged a local hotel room. I’m waiting until tomorrow morning.

Heck, *I* could have done that!
The text I got a minute ago said if you aren't already in FISK, go somewhere else. They have enough traffic to keep them busy until closing time.

Traffic on the webcam looks busy enough without those wasps swarming right in front of the Vintage cam. So close they look like yellow condors.

Still looks pretty wet in spots but glad they got it open. Tomorrow should be nutty. My wife and I will be there Wednesday thru Sunday, but we won't be flying in.

From OSHALERT:
GA camping and parking is full unless you have reserved parking.

Wow. Watching Vintage camera. Looked like a couple of Cessnas got pretty close to each other during the mass arrival of 80 plus Cessnas.
Tower asked where trail was after 20 or so landed. 30 mile final!

Man. There are some chuckleheads out there, as usual.
"Fisk Approach, we can't raise tower on 126.6" (Probably because YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO!!! SHUT UP AND LISTEN.)

There are still a ton of parking spots in the south 40. I’m surprised they sent this out

The problem is the taxi route over there was getting rutted up pretty badly apparently.

Ended up getting a reservation at Motel 6 in Appleton (around 2p), since Scholler is closed. Set up our table and chairs in the parking lot and grilled ribeyes & Indiana sweet corn.

Wow what's that cost at the last minute?
I have a crap hotel room in Appleton at the Roadway Inn.
I booked it a month ago and I think it was something like $330 / night.

$122. My buddy booked it. I have no idea how that works. I’m surprised anything was available, let alone the price...but I guess it is 3x the normal rate. Think of the interior of a worn out Cessna 150 trainer with 18,000 hours and we have the hotel version of that.

I’m tired and I haven’t taken a single photo. Been stuck in Watertown. If we don’t get in today, I’ll seriously consider going home. It’s just getting too expensive.

It’s open! Get in now before they change their mind.

I had to follow up with pics.
Glad I didn’t bring a black-light. Those ain’t cigar burns in the carpet.
Sink drain makes a pleasant waterfall sound in use...leaks to carpet. (Darker stain, not the shadow).
We all had good humor about it. Bonus, no bed-bug bites.

Just heard @Radar Contact call inbound for KATW. Listening to scanner while waiting for the late risers in my group.
Last OSHARRIVAL notice was that FISK was saturated and expect an 1:15 wait in the hold.
Looking over at the 27 arrival there are major gaps. Not sure what hold up is
Been helping with Vintage. South 40 is dry but taxiway to it is a wet mess. I’m heading down after this forum and maybe I can post an update.

Got in an hour ago. All set up. Had to hold once out at green lake since I got there right before 7. Made a self induced hold around rush lake for planes that think 80 knots is 90 knots. Actually got rolled pretty good from getting too close. After that straight on in.

I got in an hour ago. The area they’re sending us is pretty good. I’m 100yards from the showers right be the road. Further east it gets wetter.

I wouldn’t worry about those spots, that’s “where the magic happened!” “And over there on that chair, and on that curtain...”
On second thought, might want to wear shower shoes while walking around your room, lol.

Ahh... That's a bummer. That's not just a 'drag it out of the way' kind of thing.

Tell 'em to push it over the edge into the water.
Just like they used to in WWII to keep the carrier deck clear.
