Yesterday at OSH
I figured there would be some good stories here after listening to all that excitement yesterday evening.
I also was amazed how many aircraft capable of doing 90 knots (or much less) were at the higher altitude. Didn't seem to help them much.
I propose that henceforth, this event should go down in aviation lore as:
"The 2018 Fiske Furball"

Just heard:
"Low fuel guy land now land now land now watch out for those P51 mustangs ... P51's turn south, turn south, turn south now now!"
Yikes! Don't be the "low fuel guy".

Parking is full already??
The EAA parking status page says:
The General Aviation Parking Area is now closed to all aircraft types.
But there are still tons of aircraft inbound... hard to believe they are all going to camping? Does anyone know if Vintage Aircraft Parking is a subset of General Aviation Parking?

Vintage is considered show plane parking and is still open. But yeah, man this year was NUTS. 2h holding last night and 2h this morning before we got in.
Have to say that Ripon brings out the most frustrating and uncontrolled parts of flying. Reminds me too much of highway driving.
I need a beer already... Oh wait, I get one tonight!  See some of you tonight to check out the Beer Fairy's tasty brews.

OSH arrival
Looks like for me heading back home instead of trying to get in wasn't to bad of a decision.
I'll enjoy all the stories on VAF .

But remember, if you are following the NOTAM, only ADS-B equpped aircraft should have their transponders on... so this map is missing a lot of traffic. You can kind of tell if you watch the map while listening to the fisk arrival https://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=KOSH

Crazy this year. Didn?t see it but was listening on the scanner. This was the guy that got handed over to ground and given the phone # for ?possible pilot deviation?? First I?ve heard that at OsH.
Texan mass arrival one almost ground looped. Touched down on 36L. Rolled out on 36R...

I listened yesterday afternoon (can't be there this year  ) and watched flightradar24...woooooeeeeee. That was some big hairball.
I did notice, though, the surprising number of planes "cutting in" well after Ripon...even just seeing the fraction shown by fr24 because they had ADS-B, seemed like a lot of people just didn't feel like going all the way back to the start, and just cut in line. Heard some PO'd pilots calling them out on it, too.
I've only been a couple of times, but I was surprised at how many planes couldn't seem to maintain 90 knots.
