I saw the previous post about an RV passing a slower high wing. I couldn't bite my tongue anymore because at Oshkosh anything can happen. I took my brother out for a short flight and returned to the field after spinning around Green Lake a couple times with congested traffic. The controller was harping on everyone to maintain a one mile spacing inbound or they would be turned back out. I thought I was doing a pretty good to maintain the spacing and speed but had two high wing jobs pass me approaching Fisk. In the video you'll see one of them come up from below and plop right in front of me. It was a bit of a shock but I have certainly flown closer than that before. I'm pretty sure he just didn't see me. But in the video you can also see the controller turn away the guys that passed me and let me continue inbound. I'm not sure if that was the intent or just by coincidence but it did make me feel better about doing it right. I'm not making a big deal of this as it turned out okay, but I thought the video was interesting.

By the way, I was trying out the Garmin VIRB camera I had just bought. Man I love that thing. Nice out the front with the prop filter and great audio with their headsets cord. Sorry about the lame commentary along the way. The Garmin software is also really easy to use for editing and posting to YouTube. Also since I've been using Garmin Pilot for a while, that's a nice plus for setting up the camera.
