I asked a 'supervisor' who works Oshkosh a similar question last Wed at
our local EAA meeting. He said 'they' don't like it [when Lancairs fly
the warbird approach] but they don't do anything about it. He also added
that the 'Lancairs' cause them the most trouble of all the types that visit
Oshkosh... [no specific details were forthcoming]
I also asked when
they expected the 135K level to descend to the 90K level. He said to
stay high until the tower frequency suggests lower. He said that the
tower controller would be looking for a clear spot below to provide a safe
descent. He reminded everyone to keep the pattern in 'tight'. Do
not string out over the lake on the 27 approach 'cause they can't see
you.
Maybe the "supervisor" should take a ride in a Lancair (360,Legacy and IV)
with emphasis on an approach to landing. The aviation community has
advanced (or regressed, depending on your depends) beyond Cubs and
172's.
