Short Final…
Another day, another air show… I was “in the queue” for landing at Oshkosh a couple of years back. As everyone knows, landing aircraft are spoken to but don’t verbally reply to the FAA controllers. ATC to Two ahead of me: Brown Cessna, land on the Orange Spot. Rock your wings if you copy. (The Cessna rocked his wings.) ATC to One ahead of me: Red Biplane, land on the Blue Spot. Rock your wings. (The Pitts Special executed two snap rolls to the left.) ATC: And save that for the show, will you?
