The afternoon airshow is OK at the moment:


Watch above with KOSH Airboss on 133.85 on LiveATC.net

I do believe the U2 was the first time?

My contacts on the grounds suggest BIG thunderstorms later on in the evening (local time) so the evening airshow may not happen (not the first time that's happened).

G-BLEW, can you do a Foreflight weather screenshot? I've let my subscription lapse.

Allow me. Reasonable over KOSH at the moment but with a TAF like that, I’d think that I’d be de-tenting and sleeping in the aircraft :shock: !

And tieing the aircraft down !

It looks like it peaked at 33 knots with +TSRA.

The current weather tip the south looks interesting.

They have a strange definition of city over there!


In US, 'city' is often used for a municipality which has 'incorporated' according to the law in its State, allowing it to raise its own property and other taxes, run its own schools and (very commonly) police force, independent of State or County ones, ..

<drift :oops: >

It's one reason why there so many different and mutually independent police forces, with very different standards of training (and conduct :( ), and easy for someone fired from one to get employment in another :roll:

There's an apocryphal tale of how Bangor, Maine got its name. When the town had grown to a size where its residents decided that it ought to 'incorporate', they send the Episcopal Minister to the State Capital in Augusta to do the paperwork. Having found the right clerk who got out the right forms and started filling them in, the Minister sat down and started humming a hymn tune. He was interrupted by the clerk asking "what's the name ?". Without thinking, the Minister replied 'Bangor' and spelled it out, which was the name of the hymn tune. The clerk wrote that down as the name of the new 'city' on the form. It was not the name the residents had chosen (which was 'Sunbury'), but they realised only when the Minister got back and read his copy of the forms. But it would have cost money to change it, so they never bothered :wink:
