Default Rec.Aviation OSH report

I just got off the phone with Jay Honeck. The group that had left KIOW this
morning arrived at OSH after several holds and an accident on 9/27. Rumors
are that a Cherokee pilot perished in an air to ground crash. No other
details.

For those that are going to the Rec.Aviation.*.* party Wednesday night, Jay
and Mary's parking/camping spot is # 558 in the North 40 on the NORTH side
of 9/27 on the departure end of 27 fairly close to Friar Tucks.

Good luck to all that are inbound to OSH and fly safe.

See you Wednesday

Jim Burns

Default Rec.Aviation OSH report

It wasn't a very good week as far as accidents go. The Cherokee rumor
was actually an Europa. Two people died in that crash. This morning a
TBM taxied into an RV6 killing the passenger.

Then there's the F-86 in North Carolina that was on it's way to OSH.

On the not-in-motion type of accident, there was a storm in Appleton
this morning that damaged a Maule and a Bonanza.

Wunderground.com shows the wind this morning peaked at 40 gusting to 58 MPH

God, that's awful. That must've happened mere minutes after we
departed...

Oh no. Another one down leaving OSH about 6 hours ago.

An American Legend Cub lost engine power over Lake Michigan about 4
miles out from Chicago.

The article says the passenger was able to stay afloat using a seat
cushion, but he got separated from the older pilot. They haven't been
able to find him as of 10 PM CDT.

The article also says it was unclear what the two were doing in OSH.
Um, ok.

The real question is: What's a Cub doing beyond gliding distance from
land? The Chicago VFR cooridor is right over the shoreline, so
there's no need to be 4 miles out.

Report is they both got out OK but the pilot could not keep his head above
water. The lake was calm with 1 foot waves. Had they been closer to shore
there was enough boat activity they both would have had a much better chance
of being rescued.

Crossing the lake without life jackets?

I heard that mayday call, it was chilling. We were about
30 miles SE of Gary (we had landed there for lunch...we had
booked out of OSH without eating to get out before the airshow).
We still had Gary Tower dialed up when the call came in. I
started to turn around and put the Chicago Approach frequency
in but they were already vectoring a Gary departure to the
area to look.

It happened before we left. We saw all the emergency equipment
just north of the displaced RWY 18 threshold where we departed
from around 1PM.
