Jaime's LAST Fly-In Ever ~ Contest Announcement??

[@dongutzman5131]

OMG! These fly-in's are crazy. Flew in to an airshow as a passenger on a 172 and will never forget the ATC telling us to follow the Sherman instead of Stearman. My friend piolting was like, "There's a tank in the pattern?" Great job Kevin and Jamie!

[@rawirinathan8035]

Man - that was so crazy to watch. Loved your calmness. Awesome video.

[@EnabledShooter]

Poor Jamie. I felt for her on that one. It really is a testament to the training these pilots go through when they can stay as calm as they do. Great job Kevin!

[@sgd5k292]

Back in the early 80's, my wife and I were flying into a west coast fly-in in a V-tail in mixed traffic and it was pretty stressful. I was glad to have her along as she was a pretty good navigator and spotter. It is an amazing feeling of calm one feels sitting in a lawn chair on the ground after a difficult and stressful approach and landing especially when we were landing in tandem with another plane. Felt the very intense emotions that Jaime was experiencing and will show this video to my wife as I am sure she will relate to her. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@johncline7518]

Good ol' SkyKing. I loved that show when I was a kid (way back in the late 55's early 66's). My dad had an Aircoupe (I believe the Alon A-2, with the sliding-bubble canopy...like a flying Batmobile). That was fun! He had it staked out at the old (original) 'Tamiami Airport' in Miami/Dade County, FL. South side of the Tamiami Trail-8 Street (but has been FIU for many years now). I hope Jamie doesn't cave in to her fears, but overcomes them. Kevin is a very competent pilot; it appeared to me that the ACC's were on top of it all. If nothing else, couldn't Kevin have just flown out of all that mess for a few or so minutes; then come back when/if things were less hectic? Now about that whole radio going silent...that is a bit spooky. The must be some protocol for when that occurs.

[@MrClevet3]

Actually the concept works well and could provide the FAA with ideas how to safely increase traffic into airports where air traffic controllers provide a more invasive service. VFR: see and be seen can work especially with more airplanes equipped with TCAS and ADS-B out. The event has an admirable safety record and moves traffic with minimal delays.

The FLY-IN video was incredible. I agree with others who expressed concern and stress listening to the video.

I was saddened to see Jamie so distressed. Bless you both and your family.

[@sethadams4871]

Jaime, I’m with you on the Fly Ins. The arrival ATC sounded more like a cattle auction and ATC chaos than safe air travel. I’ve flown for over 40 years and avoid these events because of the safety roulette played in the pattern. We fly somewhere close out of the chaos and drive to the event. Just too risky for us and you are fortunate to have a husband who is an excellent pilot and controller who knows the ins and outs of these events. Kevin, in your expert opinion as a controller, was that arrival safe? Jamie, see you at the alternate airport or on the highways for the next fly in. Hang in there, you’re not alone.

[@FlightChops]

I watched this one earlier today and have been reflecting on it. The impression that I am left with is that this was not safe ATC work, and as much as I know everyone wants to get there, sometimes a pilot needs to just cut their losses and nope the heck out.

[@sethadams4871]

@@FlightChops I concur, completely unsafe, regardless of your level of experience. The whole deal was a roll of the 🎲🎲. What amazes me is that the FAA allows it. Unfortunately a tragedy waiting to happen. Too many targets to track, confusing, conflicting instructions and overall chaos. We love the comradery and fellowship, but flying in isn’t worth the risk to us any longer.

It sounded like they were running the same system as OSH, but not nearly as safely, concisely, or effectively. Too much yelling and repeating themselves too much. How many times do you have to tell the Mooney to turn base? 3? 5? I've listened and watched some video of the Fisk arrival at OSH and it seems much more calm and organized.

that is the craziest thing i have ever watched, having seen that has probably changed my mind about flying into one of those events....

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

This just reaffirms my belief that eventually these mega fly-in events is going to have a very bad accident. When the controller is yelling "everyone on downwind turn to base right now" and repeats it four times...and then you have pilots like that bozo who slid over to occupy your runway added to the mix...yeah, that's no good. They need a much better arrival system. Like an IRF autopilot required approach. Something.

[@patchescessna7348]

So many working their butts off for a great fly in so go in a day or two earlier and leave later and thoroughly brief NOTAMS and local procedures, May sound obvious on the brief but reference EAA article on those not familiar with arrival procedures.

[@sgd5k292]

@@valuedhumanoid6574 Yeah, it is almost as bad as driving everyday to and from work on a busy freeway where there are "very bad accidents" frequently caused by stupid people driving too fast, following too closely and lane changing....At least the controllers and pilots (for the most part) have some training.

[@ParadigmUnkn0wn]

​@@sgd5k292, you think the cattle auctioneer that cutoff the other controller to say, "Everybody on extended downwind turn base. *short pause* EVERYONE turn base!" had very much training? He then cut in again to basically threaten pilots to keep flying based on his crazy instructions or they'd go into holding. Most of those accidents you see on the highway aren't fatal. Mid-air collisions are universally fatal unless you have: you have an ejection seat, a parachute, or your plane has a parachute. Even with any (or all) of those things, a midair collisions still have abysmally high fatality rates. Not to mention the people on the ground. I've seen Oshkosh arrival videos that looked very safe. The requirement to get inline far out and the well-defined route, altitudes, and holding patterns all work very well. They have multiple spotting stations and frequencies. Their controllers don't cut into each others transmissions unless it's an emergency. This was a failure on all levels.
