OSHKOSH DAY 04 - THE WORLD'S BUSIEST AIRPORT

We are about to head to Oshkosh and start our last day. The plan is to fly the Fiske Arrival and we are going to be a flight of four. We get a kit box, we get the air track, and we get a jet. And we get... not a jet. Steve, are you ready? Oh, I'm so ready. How are you feeling? We're almost there. We're almost there, right? Yeah. It's happening. Alright. Do you want to say hi to your... Howdy! Everybody have a great Oshkosh! Alright. You guys take care. How are you feeling, Jeff? Feeling the heat? Feeling a little bit of the heat, but man, I tell you what, this is going to be so fun. It's going to be awesome. It's going to be fun. And today, we actually flew to Merrill. And that's Larry's home base airport. With the very, very famous... Mangy Fox. Is that how you spell Mangy? Mangy Fox? Let's go this way. The sun is better that way. Hi, guys. Everybody knows Larry from Team Kit Fox. One of the admins there. Alright. So, what's the plan? The plan is flight of four? Yeah. Flight of four. Wheel's up here in a little bit. It's about an hour flight down to Oshkosh. We'll fly into the main field this morning. And we'll taxi over to the ultralight field here today. Ultralight field doesn't open until Saturday. And the weather tomorrow is a little bit on the easy side? Well, up here, it's going to be down there. I don't think so bad. It's going to be hot, but not terrible. Alright. And we're going to be parked near the Red Barn? By the Red Barn? Yeah. Actually, there's a really nice webcam right next to the Red Barn. That if you go on the EAA website and look at their webcams and stuff, you'll probably see us out there. Okay. Sweet. Alright. If you guys are at Oshkosh and you want to see us, come to the Red Barn. We're going to be parking all the... The Kit Fox is going to be there. All the airplanes are going to be there. Love to talk to you. Alright. Let's get going before he will come. We go bottoms up. We go in. And things that's filling up. In my soul, shaking through my core. Left me in the cold. Chained to what I know. And until tomorrow, wind into my sail. Away from things I let go. Floating on the wave. Bottoms up. We go bottoms up. Because I know I'm going to forget if I don't do it right now. We are a flight of four. Doesn't look like it's too busy. Looks like it's okay. And Larry is going to lead the way. I'm going to be the last one, so I can get the camera filming all the three airplanes ahead of me. And I've been listening to Fisk and Simis. It's not so busy. So we can request Runway 36, apparently. So that's the plan. I'll let you guys now tag along. And listen to it for those that never flew to Oshkosh and like to see what it's like to fly the Fisk Arrival. And this is going to be it. Although this is a little bit different. We're doing a formation of four airplanes. But the idea is the same if you were flying your own airplane. There are a lot of videos online that already shows that. I just want to give you my spin to it. So I hope you guys enjoy the Fisk Arrival. Welcome to Oshkosh. We'll switch over to Fisk. I'll let you know when I make the change. We're just about to ripen. Okay. I've got a plane out here at my 1 o'clock. We're officially on Fisk Arrival. And the high wing over Fisk on the right turn for Runway 36. Hotel Uniform, Victor. Maybe it's over Fisk. Copy.
