Watching as many of these as I can. Looks like they switched you from the midfield green dot on RWY27 to the approach end orange dot while you were already on base! Great flexibility altering your landing target with such short notice! Hoping to take the plunge and do my first Oshkosh flight next year. Thanks for the great video.
Intense! I never thought about how hard it would be to see the flagmen when taxiing in in a Pitts or other low-visibility taildragger. Hoping it won't be that bad when in my RV-8 when I bring it in... maybe three years from now, when it's finished and I've gotten a LOT of practice in it. Thanks for sharing!
The first time i went to oshkosh I drove there, looked up must have been around one of the waypoints, saw a skybolt rock its wings, gave about 90 degrees in each direction! That was the first plane i saw at my first OSH.
Always wondered what it was like arriving at Oshkosh, and now I know. I am not a pilot, but am an old enthusiast. Would love to visit Oshkosh someday with all my cameras. Thanks for the video.
Man that had to be one of the longest taxis I have ever seen after landing, just out of curiousty, would like to know how much or little of your fuel you actually used during that Long taxi to your final parking spot....and also to bad there was no way to actually lock your canopy in the open position just so you wouldn't have had to hold it open the whole time, but your arm was starting to get a little on the sore side from having to hold it open like you did....
+Andrew Silva Haha yeah, definitely a long taxi ! No, the certified Pitts' don't have any locking canopy that i've ever seen. I think my adrenaline was pumping so much from having just landed at Oshkosh that I never noticed if my arm was getting sore or not ;)
Thank oyu so much for replying, if you dont mind me asking, since you said that your planes doesnt have a locking canopy, guessing all you can do is latch it securley just so it wont Fly open while you are up in the ar right? One more thing, what was that white box and that orange piece of equipment that u had on the top of the planes dash or should I say the planes canopy cause they were attached to it when you opened it after landing....oh one more thing, on bi-planes like this, why did they make them so that the actual Pilot sits in the rear section and not the front thinking that the front position would have the best view for actually flying the plane????
Three year old video, and it's still pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Did you do it
Love that Pitts! The controller played a trick on you from letting you know last second from green to orange dot. Nailed it easy! Congrats!
nice plans, beautiful day...the go pro on the head was a bit much...
Nicely done !. I like the window by your feet.

OH MY GAWD! I LOVE THIS!!! TOO MUCH AWESOME
sweet approach and landing
Wow...a very complicated place to fly into, that is very well organized.
Awesome!!
Thanks for the comment ! :)
Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Nice turn on to final anticipating the crosswind push from the North! Not many get that right. Blue Skies Bud.

I always wanted to fly into OshKosh, but after seeing this, I think I will be copilot on the first attempt.
Nice landing!

Really cool !

Sweet ride.
That was amazing!
Nice plane!!!

Sweet!
+Buck Buchanan Thanks for checking out the video!
nagoyalukas Flown into it four times. But, it's been 7 years since my last. Always exciting.
I agree, this is awesome! :-)
Great video and audio! How far did you have to fly to get to KOSH?
Pat Leopard thanks! Not too far, about 500NM
Wow I have to fly 1600 NM to go lol
Am I seeing things or does that aircraft have a clear floor under you?
It sure does! Mainly used for box positioning at an aerobatic contest. You can also see when your smoke system is on :)
very cool
Thanks for checking out the video! :)
Question, what is that white thing above the right side of the panel? I've seen some people with those but have no clue what they are.
Hi there, its a Stratus 2 receiver. www.foreflight.com/products/stratus/
The gopro should be mounted on the aircraft.
how come you had to taxi so much after u landed ? :)
Ignition noise in his headset.
So DIZZY
Holy crap
Impossible to watch. I had a seizure.
