My friend Lee and I sat along runway 18 on Sunday as the arrivals come
into Oshkosh. Many pilots did a great job, but there were some notable exceptions: Chills: A Pitts snuck in under a Cessna on 18R, and the Cessna almost lost its tail to the prop of the Pitts. The controller kept telling the Cessna pilot to go around, and he finally responded in the nick of time. Spills: A low wing homebuilt stalled 20 feet above 18R and plopped to the ground resulting in the right landing gear collapsing, apparent damage to the right wind spar, and the plane slid off into the grass where the pilot and passenger climbed out. The crash trucks kept the scene busy for while afterward. Bozos: Some fool tried to land on 36L while traffic was landing on 18R. Two RV-6's landing in formattion were going around to avoid another plane landing on 18R, and they kept to the right to avoid the incoming Cessna going the wrong way. The controller told the errant pilot to turn right IMMEDIATELY and he eventually resonded. He was then instructed to excecute a left 270 to land on 18R, but instead he executed a left 180 and landed on 27. dyslexia or stupidia? |
