The last time that I went into S&F using the hi-performance approach. They told me to merge into all of the other slow moving traffic. I don't know why they had a hi-performance approach at all. Sounds like Oshkosh does the same. I try to arrive a few minutes before 0700 hrs. If you are the first to arrive, there is no other traffic. > From: "Halle, John" > . > . > The speed thing is a real problem.
