Default OSH Departure Thursday morning

For those of us leaving OSH Thursday morning it was frustrating to say the least, but the circumstances were what they were. The lines to the runway were long and painfully slow, but eventually we made it out of there.

I took a couple snaps of my traffic screen on the climbout. It's amazing how many airplanes safely navigated their way south yesterday.

I'm already looking forward to next year.

Default Thursday?

Thursday is usually a high-departure morning anyway, was that any worse than usual?

Yea, I saw the same thing too. Sometimes ADS/B TIS traffic can be more than you want to know.

They closed 36/18 for departures at about 9 AM due to an accident (Breezy went inverted and crashed into a fuel truck off of 36). The only way out was on 27 along with all the Warbirds, North 40 people, and the Classics. Taxi way A was backed up all the way to camping. I waited until about 11:30 when they finally opened up 36 again.

We started taxing around 11am. It took about 45 minutes to get the 36L. It was going pretty quick until they started recovering the warbirds. Fortunately, we got out just ahead of the C-17 arrival.

Only for aircraft arriving and departing OSH. Unroll eyes..

Also, with my transponder OFF I still painted traffic from other ground and air stations that were transmitting it.

I was in that late Thursday morning 36 departure line. Is it just me - noticing my scorching engine temps - or do a lot of people seem to be challenged actually moving into position and departing promptly when clearly told to do so?

I was quite amazed at the number of adsb traffic hits I got while taxing out yesterday. It was seeing 20+ hits of just other aircraft on the ground.

And yes, my transponder was in standby.......
