Departing OSH Wednesday morning, the departure wait for light GA peons got
pretty long. I was interested to hear the ever-more-urgent pleas from a
Cirrus flight of four to speed things up because their engines were
over-heating as they sat idling in line.

Didn't hear anything like that from any of the dozens of other aircraft
waiting to go. It was about 8 in the morning; not hot yet.


This makes me wonder if they were using that as an excuse to get
preferential treatment. I've never heard of Cirri overheating while idling.
