Default Making the OSH Arrival Safer

You have some good ideas Jim.. Thanks..

I have flown the Tiger into some busy places including JFK, LGA and lot of
airshows. The thing that I am using as a personal comparison is the aopa
fly-in at their headquarters. It was so crazy that I have put that event on
the never again list..

Take care,

Jon

I have been to SNF for 4 years but have always flown into winter haven
airport and bypassed the stress of going to the show airport. Next year I
was thinking of going to Airventure and thought about flying into OSH but
might be having second thoughts and would fly in to a close airport
instead..


Don't let all of this freak you out. Practices all of the maneuvers you
might be called on to do, like slow flight, precision touchdowns, flying
down the runway, tight one-turn to- final patterns, slowing down and
speeding up your approach, ect.

After that, plan on not arriving at a peak time. Stage at a nearby
airport,
and leave at such a time as to be one of the first arrivals when the
airport
opens.

You can do it.
