KOSH Runway 27 Closed - Anybody Know Why?

[FlyingElvii]

Listening to Oshkosh Arrivals on LiveATC.

They have been saying that Runway 27 is closed for about 30 minutes. Center just advised an arriving aircraft that 27 is closed due to a "Disabled Aircraft".

Nothing on Twitter, or anywhere else I can find. Any ideas?

Looks like a lot of room there.

probably some drunken H.O.P.S. party-goer naked streaking down the runway. that would be my first guess.

 

[mscard88]

sounds like you have experience at that?

Didn't realize Patty Wagstaff would be there this year.

Looked like a c 206 with a colapsed nose gear after a bounced landing.

Last place you want to have a bad landing at.....

Last place you want to have a bad landing at.....

Especially with EVERYONE who's anybody watching.

Won't be as embarrassing early on Saturday, as it would be on midday Sunday, though.

That's like whiffing the ball on the first tee in front of everyone waiting.

Except a lot more expensive.

Porpoise? Everyone OK I trust?

No kidding. Just ask Jack Roush!

Shouldn't be doing that rookie stuff by the time you're in a 206.

Probably didn't do it on porpoise.

Henning?

Oh no....make it stop.

I'll be ringside all day tomorrow watching them come in

I have been looking at this vintage plane.

poor guy. Deserves our support, not condemnation. Unless we are willing to say 'heap it on', when our time comes.

Alright now, y'all have been alluding to some crazy behavior on Patty's behalf. What'd did she do?

Oh hell, that ain't nuthin'. Thought maybe y'all caught her and eman in a tent doing the big nasty.

No, but I did hear he's asking people to play with his monkey.

 

[mscard88]

Not surprising the way he's been bringing up "penis" on a few threads, and sending "penis confetti" to people. Hope he didn't send anything to Cajun!

A monkey shall not monkey with another monkey's monkey.

2008?

Wow, this IS a tough crowd.

Good thing the majority of us here lead lives of absolute perfection, on the ground and in the air.
Redemption? Statute of limitations? Not around these parts apparently.

I had no idea she did that. I have so much more respect for her now. way to go, party girl!

*drinking and driving is bad, m'kay

I'm sure I have part (all?) of this story incorrect, but I'd heard she was joyriding in a golf cart on the runway. What got her in trouble, though, was something along the lines of "Do you know who I AM?" when she was "pulled over" for it.

Drinking and driving is bad. Drinking and driving a golf cart on a closed runway at a huge party is... something I'd probably do.

 

[James331]

**** happens.

"Chit happens"

Likely 709 ride and FSDO chat

Shy of a near impossible to see pothole, or a animal darting out and impacting the nose gear, just plowing a 206 into the ground nose wheel first, or even worse PIOing it in, that's a little more than a chit happens IMO. I hope it was an animal or runway surface issue, as the guy (if it was the owner) is a CPL, CFI, APIA.

Pretty sure it was a Ford Mustang and likely would have been a non-issue if she had kept her attitude in check.

Soooooooo, what was the incident last night (Sunday) that closed the whole airport around 7pm? Does anybody have any info?

Two planes coming in got real close, one of them apparently stalled which caused a wing drop. He went inverted and straight in from approximate 50' up. News is reporting that pilot is ok.

 

[mscard88]

Good Lord! What's wrong with people. Perhaps they shouldn't be flying in. Just saying.

That was what I said to myself after my last airline flight from Newport News to ATL.

That's what I say to myself pretty much for every landing.

 

[James331]

I've always found those sporty x-wind, super short, or 7700 landings, like semi angry make up sex.

More airplane parts on the runway tonight :-(

I'm not there so not sure how it turned out, but they did close the airport early after an A-26 Invader had to make a partial gear-up landing on 36. I was listening on LiveATC when he declared an emergency. Could not get the nose gear down.
