Oshkosh Frenzy! Flying out of the world's busiest airshow single pilot in a jet!

Man those ATC's really do an amazing job at Oshkosh.

It’s wild

stacked like a deck of cards wow

Maddest respect ATC

Man that ATC deserves an award for organizing this chaos every year. Seriously impressive...

[@nancyinlow4904]

That was awesome...u must have nerves of steel...sounds like organized chaos getting out of Oshkosh ...amazing 👍❤️

[@scottwelker6359]

Aside from a referee in any sport at any level, controller at Oshkosh would be my least wanted job.

[@2011blueman]

It's not a man, it's a massive team. We're talking about a dozen ATCs in the tower, a few on the field, and then another dozen at fisk.

I know that lol @@2011blueman

@maruiacancerc Keep trying! Everyone has to start somewhere. Even @CitationMax. All the best to you!

[@mikec9636]

ATC is amazing! The way you handle the pressure is why you’re a great pilot. If you ever need a right seat, just to observe, and get a free flight, I’m here and ready. That would be awesome. Great videos, sir!

[@robertsimpson9403]

Love this channel, very inspiring.

[@PatrickBellSr]

Awesome video! A little bit of everything: traffic, VFR/IFR, weather and even ice! 😎👍

Very nicely executed! Max you really did a good job navigating around all that traffic. Hey, have you heard from Premier one driver lately? Haven’t seen any video’s lately?

Exemplary pilot skills, division of attention, and a keen sense of awareness. I’m glad this is out there for any pilot or future pilot. Not sure who your original flight instructor was Max but he sure taught you well.

Wow that means a lot. Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy the videos. Take care

Max, great video, you’re always at the top of your game! Thanks for taking me along.

[@RudyP18]

I left about an hour or so after you in my citation mustang and it had gotten so crowded by then that I also had to go VFR to avoid a now 2 hour delay (despite having an IFR slot reservation). It was a real zoo later in the day. They also didn’t ask traffic ahead of me to offset like they did for you… guess i need a bigger citation for that!

[@CitationMax]

Wow that’s not good. Glad you made it out and safely 😀 thanks for watching the video! Appreciate it. Safe flying!

[@TimR-er8ux]

Max, the way you were able to think on the fly and change plans so quickly, not only showcased your natural skill set, but the quick reaction got you back in que quickly. Great job, love the videos. Love what Citation MOM does for animals.

That approach into Jackson Hole never gets old, stunning scenery.

[@USAIRFORCE621]

This is why if I went to Oshkosh I'd drive because its a chaotic hell in the air, and flying a C-172SP from MD with a ground speed of only maybe 130 mph might take awhile to get there, and I'm still a student pilot!

[@jameshennighan8193]

ATC - OSHKOSH Whilst the ATC would seem to be impressive, there is a need to be more measured in heaping praise on such operations. At a superficial level, speed in getting aircraft away from the airfield is as exciting as it is technically challenging, but it is based upon speed of operation at a very congested ground location.. With speed comes the potential for a mistake or a misunderstanding which can lead to a mistake. The ease with which departures are converted from IFR to VFR, in a rush to get away, being a potential example for creating such a mistake. One of the major issues in the speedy handling of aircraft, be they arriving, departing, or merely positioning themselves on the ground, is the abbreviation or curtailment of aircraft call-signs in an endeavour to maintain that speedy handling. Although this sounds slick and is something we are increasingly becoming used to, it is not proper and effective ATC.... Just because things are going smoothly does not mean things cannot go wrong. This is about far more than being impressed with operations. Oshkosh is an accident waiting to happen, and one of possible major proportions when it occurs. It is not just a matter of if this will happen, but when. As more people take to the air, (both as a follow-up to the end of the Lock-down madness, and with the Summer 'Flying Season' now under way), the skies have seldom been busier. GA is facing a considerable number of challenges at the moment, with a number of question marks hanging over so many things, including both general flying ability, and the training of pilots. A random analysis of GA accidents demonstrates this in so many ways, where there are far too many, running the full gamut from basic mistakes, to simple inability and extending to downright foolishness and stupidity It would be a pity if the freedom of the skies, events such as Oshkosh.......as well as other airshows, were to become more restricted, or even stopped, as a consequence of increasing regulation and control by the FAA / NTSB, but there is almost an inevitability of this being not too far down the runway. The organisers of OSHKOSH have the solution in their own hands. They should be looking at ATC operations at the event, with a view to refining it. Being prepared to make changes where necessary is a part of that process. They have to start doing this before it is too late.. James Hennighan Yorkshire, England

[@davidduganne5939]

Acknowledging Squawk code "Thirty two seventeen" sounds like "thirty two seven three" on a static-y receiver... I always read back individual digits, as they were called out to me. (Frequency and xponder codes)

[@MillionFoul]

Wonder what the plan was there parking? I used to work at JHA before the airport got it so not sure what procedures changed but they seemed a little confused as to who was parking you and where. Hope the FBO's still good.

[@MichaelBuckert-h6r]

Buddy please start showing FL 40+. I absolutely agree with the gentleman's comments . The ATC has their hands very full. Thanks

[@jamesburns2232]

Clearance to climb and maintain FL 43.0. That's above 90% of the enroute weather. Just need to avoid any thunderstorm columns by 20NM.

[@jimbarrofficial]

What a ride... all that activity and everyone keeps their head. Great flight as usual, all that pre-planning on the cutover to VFR like a true pro, you made it look easy once again.

Boy does this ATC chatter sound familiar, including the belief that an IFR slot is possible. Good job on the video, a great training aide for those making the pilgrimage.

[@CoryKing]

So does IFR get delayed because managing all the IFR traffic is just too much for ATC at the time? What makes the IFR get delayed?
