Pretty quite day from an accident stand-point, a few minor ground
mishaps. Over-all traffic counts were healthy, but I don't have
specific figures. I flew in from my home-base outside of Madison, WI
and skated in without any problems at all. Straight up to Ripon, up to
Fisk, then straight into Rwy 9. Last year I was in that big hold over
Green Lake that received alot of press, and this was infinitely
easier.

There were a few dimwits on the radio, a Canadian Mooney M20 calling
up the tower from the east side of Lake Winnabago asking to be let in,
the controllers were much too accommodating and got him in rather than
sending him all the way around to Ripon. Although someone did chime in
on the radio "READ THE NOTAM!" which made me laugh. And I saw another
dim-wit try to land on 27 while ops were all on 9. I have no idea
where he came from until he flew over my head. Guys were scattering
everywhere going around.

Despite all the angst that alot of people have, flying into OSH for
the show is alot of fun!

I haven't met up with the other R.A.P crowd however.

Enjoy, come on up to the show!
