If it can happen it will happen so be prepared.
I have always been an advocate of fly the plane first worry about every thing else later. Went into Oshkosh last year and learned a lesson, its real easy to let your speed get down there. We were late getting in so we sat at Fond du lake for a few hours. At 7:30 we were told Oshkosh was open and fifty planes head out at once. Over Fisk there were a bunch of planes ahead of me. They were all over the place and slow as I back off the speed to keep from running up the back of them I stalled. 50 ft drop and I was back up behind them and catching up quickly, tried to slow down and stalled again. At this point I said the **** with it and broke out of the group, went back to Ripton to start again. Sure glad this did not happen on Base to Final???. If you feel uncomfortable get out!!! (or go round) So you have a chance to try again. Don?t push it !!!!
Last years trip to Osh was full of fun. On the second try I pasted Fisk and the controller phrased my actions to get out and cleared me to Oshkosh, switched the radio to new frequency and silence. Thought this was strange looked down at the radio and it was not working, avionics master switch picked now to quit. Flew the pattern as my copilot played with the switch and got it working on final, long enough to get a request from controllers asking me to switch runways, no problem, as I am flaring I was advised I might need to go around as the plane which just landed had stopped on the runway and was not moving. I was able to land and stop behind him with out a problem. ( Replaced the switch at Oshkosh the next day )
Leaving Oshkosh, sitting on the taxiway with a 10 to 20 others Sunday noon I heard a sudden loud noise which startled me. Sounded like the guy behind me had hit me, I turned on the taxiway just in time to see a war bird run over an RV6 directly behind me.
I saw the pilot getting out as we rolled onto the runway and said thank god he looked alright, did not know there was a passenger until I got home. Very sad, I also discovered I had been speaking with these gentlemen not an hour before.
One last thing. If it can happen it will happen so be prepared. Just to top off the weekend half way home my voltage reg decided to give it up, not a big deal but made me think what else was going to happen. Replaced the voltage reg and have not had a problem with the plane since.
Wonder what the years trip to Osk will bring?.. yes I am hoping to get there again this year.
