Oh and I did not mean to denigrate the sole airliner at OSH - that AA 757 I went head to head with - it was there for Honor Flight! So hat tip and well done AA and @webmaster thanks to your colleagues for making that happen

Affirm. And marhallers had orange paddles imprinted with frequency you should monitor for each location on the field. Zip lip from a pilot perspective - just listen.
A well oiled machine with zero mishaps.

Just ran across this post by @Pugs from over ten years ago. His account of taking a Prowler into Oshkosh, 1995.
" No military rates for gas so went into Scott for a bag full before pressing north. At Scott met Hoot Gibson who was getting gas for his NASA T-38 heading to the same place and ate our box lunches together, just a hell of a nice guy who treated a bunch of 0-3’s just like we were equals. Going into Oshkosh, 500 knot right hand break, “Cobra 60 abeam gear stop, roger, your traffic on final is a Ford Trimotor and just upwind is the Fuji Blimp, traffic behind is a Mustang” Whatta great week.
