You'll have to take that up with them. We were sitting around with 10 and 11 (the advance team/announcers) because Margy had met them when they came to the Air and Space Museum. I had suggested to them at the time that the Tudors were old enough to park in Vintage and we would definitely make a couple of rows available for them. They said the powers that be would never allow that, but we did get 11 parked in Vintage right in front of our Ops building. EAA provided tents, sleeping bags, and a case of local beer for the pilots. As we were sitting around talking to them (and drinking beer) they asked about the dots on the runway. I explained the normal approach procedures.
They said that flying the Ripon approach was on their Oshkosh bucket list. I suggested we could go up in my Navion. A friend (who is Canadian and had a Canadian registered Navion) offered that if they both wanted to go we could take his plane as well. So the next morning, off we go (along with a friend in an RV6 as a photo plane). The two Navions pull out on the runway as a flight of two. Naughty (my pilot) had previously asked if I had any formation experience and I told him no. As we're flying out he says "I thought you didn't have any formation experience." I said I was just not hitting the guy in front of me. He says that's the first lesson.
So they did some wingtip-to-wingtip flying in our plane and then tried to teach us some. Then we let them each practice a landing at an outlying field and then let them fly the approach back into OSH. Naughty did a pretty good landing in my plane, but Sticky dropped Trevor's Navion pretty hard.
At this point, I asked them what ELSE was on their bucket list. They said they wanted to direct planes on the runways and had already worked out with the FAA controllers to do that. What else? They wanted to ride around in one of those VW bugs the chairmen use. No problem. I got to our chairman and borrow the keys to the bug and we let them drive up and down the flightline in it.
We've subsequently had a tudor show up when the Snowbirds were performing or just around the area. Last year they brought a lot of the crew down (Tudor's are two seat trainers so each transits with one of the crew chiefs or something in the non-pilot seat). Fortunately, since we store all our gear for our volunteer group in a storage locker in OSH, we had lots of extra tents and some other stuff. I went to the local sporting goods place and got some extra sleeping bags and lots of beer and we had a real Canadian party in vintage (though about half of them decided they wanted to go experience the SOS brothers tent for a while).
