Subject: Oshkosh approach?

I've read the comments and find them interesting.  I hesitate to comment 
but since I've flown in many times, I do have some experience.  The 
following is a copy of my comments to ATC Oshkosh.  If it can be 
improved, send your improvements.
                -----------------------
I've flown the approach in a c-150, Mustang II, and a Lancair LNC2 [2 
place]since the late 70s.  My good experiences have been when the faster 
airplanes were headed for 18-36 and the others to 9-27.  Serious 
problems when war birds or group type arrivals have closed access to 
18-36.  [I've been refused 18-36 the last two years in the Lancair...not 
good]
My solution:  dual lanes down the tracks with the lower altitude on the 
left side containing the slower airplanes.  The right lane at the higher 
altitude and directed to left or right 18-36 depending on speed or other 
requirements.  Stop closing 18-36 for anything except an emergency.  If 
the warbirds require special handling or the group types, create a 
window in the notam [say an hour in the afternoon (like a reservation 
system)].  If they miss the window, tough, and have them join in the 
standard arrival.  Some suggest letting the 'fast' homebuilts use the 
warbird approach.  Letting them in the window might work but it isn't a 
total solution as it does not address those of us that can fly safely at 
90 knots but not at 70 which is the common speed I've observed in these 
many years.
