a lot of people tell me what I do is pretty dangerous. True. That said, the most dangerous thing about performing at Oshkosh is getting in and out before and after the show and getting to and from the hangers. They do an amazing job of getting all those planes in and out and up and down all week. Controllers can only do so much, the rest is up to the pilot to do the right thing and be VERY aware of what is going on around you. This is the highest pressure a pilot will experiance in his life, landing at OSH. # 1 rule...ALWAYS FLY YOUR PLANE 1st! everything else is second.
Very sad to see this stuff. It really takes away from the worlds greatest avaition event.
everyone out there be safe!
