Whitman Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Are any of you flying in there in a military aircraft for static display? Planning on taking leave and flying the RV-4 up, but it's hard to turn down an all expense paid trip to OSH, even if the flying isn't as fun! What are you flying up Huggy?

HossHarris Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) We're sending a 38 and 22. Nope, that was sun and fun. I'm retarded Edited April 29, 2015 by HossHarris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raimius Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Good. Last year was kind of weak showing, IMO. There was a MV-22, an HH-65, and a static C-17. T-birds put on a good show, but I'd rather see a demo from a non dog-and-pony fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuggyU2 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yup.Apologies. I came across as a rude. That year was a significant change for military displays, and I know most everyone was caught up in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewskis Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'll be there all week with the kiddo. Catching a ride in my old man's Bonanza up there. Should be a fun week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raimius Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Apologies. I came across as a rude. That year was a significant change for military displays, and I know most everyone was caught up in it. No issue. That wasn't whining about units not wanting/trying to go, but about the show. "Talking" on the internet can do that. Edited May 1, 2015 by raimius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewskis Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Thread bump. Has anyone done the Appleton deal? My group rented out some space in a house by the field, so we decided to try the less congested option getting in there since we have a place to crash.

HuggyU2 Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Elaborate. Are you flying there in GA aircraft? Rented by which field? OSH? ATW? Need more info. Feel free to pm me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth81 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'm not sure if you ever got an answer brewskis. I live in Appleton and work in Oshkosh and I'd be happy to answer any questions you or anyone else has about the area. I'll only be on the EAA grounds next Wednesday and Thursday since my boss doesn't think that AirVenture is as important as I do and won't give me the whole week off.

DEVIL Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sorry to hijack your KOSH Coord room Huggy, but... "All runways at EAA AirVenture grounds in Oshkosh are open after a plane made a hard landing and caught fire Wedesday morning, closing the airport for almost three hours. Five people were aboard the plane at the time of the crash and all were transported to local hospitals after the Piper Malibu plane came in for a rough landing on Runway 27 at Wittman Regional Airport at 7:45 a.m." http://wbay.com/2015/07/22/wittman-regional-airport-closed-after-runway-incident/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stract Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 interesting quote from that article “He stated that on sharp final another airplane either crossed his path or entered through the taxiway on the runway,” said Cerecke. “Made him make some maneuver to prevent collision with the other airplane and ended up putting the plane into a stall.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made him make some maneuver to prevent collision with the other airplane and ended up putting the plane into a stall. I believe that. Happened to me and a few other friends here too, but without the stall part. Here's a video of my landing Sat. http://youtu.be/BaO0ZaftAG0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitman Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I hope you got out and throat punched that pilot. It wasn't necessary, but did make things exciting, especially since I already went around once thanks to ATC buffoonery. I think the dude was just so engrossed in following the procedures and lost SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
