Trust me, this is the 25th EAA convention I've worked as a controller. *Nine

Oshkosh bound IFR aircraft without a reservation don't get into that sector
with a promise to cancel short of OSH, they're issued a clearance limit
outside of the sector.


Great! Thanks for your further input. But it still remains that he
could file to an airport outside the 30nm range of the OSH vortac,
descend below some altitude by that clearance limit, and then cancel
IFR and go to RIPON and beyond VFR. I think thats what the original
poster wanted to do by filing to FAH.

Obviously if the field is IFR or you can't do the VFR arrival due to
weather then that won't help.

Curious, which facility are you working this year? I'm sure it would
be too busy and too varied to actually end up talking to you on
frequency, but appreciate the help you've given.
