In a previous article, "Jay Honeck" said:
Knock on wood, I haven't had to in initiate a go-around at OSH. In any
event, as for procedures, I would do precisely what the controller tells
me
to do.

Two years ago was my first trip to OSH, and this year I'm going again.
Last time, when it came time to take-off, the guy on the radio told me to
taxi onto the runway, but the guy with the flag was still holding it up in
the "STOP" position. So I stayed stopped, and the guy on the radio yelled
at me to move it, dammit.

Should I have ignored the flag?

The guy on the radio is an FAA controller. The guy with the flag is a
volunteer. Damnit out ranks a flag.
