The Way to Oshkosh 2018 Story 2, INSANE Fly-In, Amazing Show and Fly-Out
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- In this series of Niko's Wings parallel episodes, I'm sharing the drama, the excitement and the feelings felt on the way to Oshkosh but also during and after Oshkosh 2018.
On this episode experience the insanity of flying into Oshkosh, trying to stay at 1,300 feet at 90 knots, thing that proved to be next to impossible. Airplanes butting-in left and right and following the NOTAM.
The show in itself was incredible, see more about my friends at GoPro, JustPlaneTint.com, TalosAvionics.com and JMBaircraft.com.
Don't miss the next episode coming up, about the weather, the simulator practice and the lost alternator that caused me to declare an emergency... All coming soon.

Great Video and it was great hanging out with you at OSH! See ya soon!
Same here brother...
I must admit, it was exciting & fun!!!
As a controller myself, it takes a very certain breed to control that Oshkosh traffic. Bravo
Like herding retarded mice...
Holy crap! That controller was on the ball! How long are their shifts? It must be really exhausting after a short time. I can’t imagine flying into that event as a novice pilot. It must be overwhelming!
I flew into Osh a long time ago for a day trip at the show, it was absolutely bonkers but awesome. I'm convinced the folks running control are professional cat-herders the rest of the year.
Wow, that became quite an epic adventure.
That traffic density into and out of Oshkosh is absolutely insane!
Thanks for taking us along with you.
Niko. Best Oshkosh vid I've seen so far. Mad editing skills, a great mixture of flying, airshow, vendors (kudos for having them give us info!), arrival, departure. Just really cool. Just subscribed. Thank you.
That’s nice to hear. I’m happy with it too. Thx for subscribing!
Great situational awareness flying in to Oshkosh and stunning footage of a few events. Thanks, guys, good job and I noticed a difference with the GP Hero 6..... seemed a bit crisper. Very nice goody bag!
Awesome work Niko. That arrival was tense even for me sitting at my desk!! Well done.
Nicely done! That was intense with the tower constantly in your ear and having to pay attention to all the traffic
I am enjoying the old videos. Oshkosh was great. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I watched tis video several times, most especially the pattern to land. I'm stressed just watching it! Nice job, guys!!!
That landing! Handled it beautifully. Impressive job sir.
Just gets my blood pumping! Bucket list Niko! Well done, and thank you for showcasing some of what is out there in equipment/technology. It is so important to support those who support us. Looking forward to the next adventure. Thanks for bringing us along.
Another great video. Niko, your videos make me really, really miss flying GA. A few more years to finish putting my kids through college and then I can hopefully return to boring holes through the sky. Keep up the videos and the excellent flying!
Perfectly done all the way around. Great job!!!
Jim
What a great way to see OSH18, and with you primary instructor, too. Certainly looks like you had fun.
Lots of fun...
Thanks for the insider view of what its like to be at Oshkosh.
Stopped@12:02 was still laughing at you telling your primary instructor, he was in for a treat!😄...that he was, not necessarily the kind of treat he was expecting😄... Busy busy flying, he did state, "it was hectic" Lol...that ATC was on his J O B...
I've been to Oshkosh around 10 times and never gets old. Always have to be aware of soft turf around there. Way to go!
Yet another video with Mike Patey's Draco machine. Awesome!
Well done, Niko. Go Pro did you right! I’m looking forward to what you put out with all the new toys.
That place was CRAZY! Like trying to drive during rush hour on 128/95/1 in Boston, minus the radio help, HAHAHA! 😁 Nice job getting in and out of there. An extra set of eyes must help tremendously, I'd imagine.
I'm definitely going to try to get out there next year. We'll see how things go. A bucket-list item, for sure! So much going on, everywhere at that show!
Really enjoyed this one! Thanks for taking us along. Glad the mechanical issues didn't slow you down too much, and you got there and back safely - that's what counts. Awesome vid as always, Niko!👍👍
It was crazy... looking back, it was all a blur, you focus so much on flying that you barely comprehend the radio calls. That’s where the 2nd pilot comes handy, especially a very experienced flight instructor.
The clarity of that new camera is awesome Niko, gonna try flying to Osh Kosh next year, nice video. Paul
Wow, how chaotic! That being said, I eagerly look forward to my pilgrimage to KOSH. Here's to OSHKOSH 2021!!
Growing up 40 minutes northeast of Oshkosh, I’m amazed to see how the thousands of GA birds make their way to and from Wittman Field. Incredible ATC keeping the flow going. Oshkosh 2019 is just around the corner. Hope to see you there! 😎
Very nice performance Niko, please continue to make us flying! Congratulations!
Nice job! I don't if anyone would want to try that the first time as a single pilot! Sure helps to have a second pair of eyes and ears. So much going on.....you guys handled it all really well. Those ATC guys - what a job! I can't even imagine how they deal with the hundred-thousand things happening all at once at Oshkosh. And still stay cool, calm and collected - and super nice! I don't know what they get for all that, but it ain't enough....
GoPro video quality superb. Posts in 4k coming?
Recording or editing into 1080p with a 4k capable device is still a big upgrade over straight 1080p devices. Uploading 4k is a real hassle and i don't think it's that much of an upgrade quality wise. Yes i know technically more pixels but it's also about clarity of the picture.
wiedehopf Yes, it is about the clarity of the picture and I’m sure you felt the same way (A big hassle) when uploads limited to standard definition
The ATC folks are just amazing! I have the utmost respect for these guys.
Probably only a special shirt video here and there to showcase 4K but it will be a while before I will make it a habit. Will see how the video editing in 4K works. It may not even be an issue.
@ 8:22 that's a true professional right there...planes coming in left, right and centre and he still sounds like he is giving a motivational speech...
Right?
Nice video of Oshkosh. I spent the entire week there, and still didn't get to see everything! What an amazing event. Gotta go back next year, just to see what I missed.
I was there Wednesday to Saturday and I definitely did not see everything. Next year...
I've watched a lot of vids of aircraft going to Oshkosh,they're all great! Lots of well organized chaos. It's fantastic to watch the Fisk approach on a flight tracker and tapping into Oskosh ATC,it's insane. Congrats on your trip and safe landing,let us know if your going back in 2019 so we can track you!
Definitely going back
Epic...love the post..your really getting this editing, music, flight combo down. Proud of you!
Thanks Markus
My heart rate jumped up just watching that! Awesome video Niko, and nice flying. It's a goal of mine to do that one day at Oshkosh for sure.
Thanks Stefan. Always nice hearing from you. Happy skies on your amazing adventure coming up!
Thanks Niko! That was great fun! I got a kick out of watching the expression on your face after you landed at KOSH. Nice job stick and rudder flying! Can’t wait for your next installment.
I love how I struggle to move a box truck around in tight spaces and this guy is just casually driving a plane better than I drive the truck 😂😂😂 I’m like ok I have a 5 foot wide vehicle... nikos 20 foot wing span... 😂😂😂
Cool, thanks for taking us along Niko!
Phenomenally cool vid...Niko, THANK YOU !
Nice video on that hectic fly-in. Oshkosh is a bucket list for me, but from the other side of the fence.
Awesome video Niko! Sorry we missed you at KOSH this year. We’ll catch you at the next one.
Definitely. Hey I bought my first drone. DJI Mavic Air... I’ll never forget you with your drones back then Mr drone pioneer... 😁
Great video Niko! That was crazy!! Had to be stressful...great flying!
Great job Niko, and was good to meet you in person in OSH
Thanks. Me too!
Damn Niko, your videos are so great that every time I watch one, I feel the urge to fly! Since I found your channel, I see every flying I do with different eyes, enjoying every aspect of it even more. Thanks for this kind of content.
Thanks and I’m glad you see it that way
Nice flying Niko. I couldn't do it. I sressed watching you. Nice cameras. Thank you Niko. Fly safe
Wow Niko. That was hectic!! Seeing your video I realized how lucky I was flying my Cirrus at the higher altitude (thanks to your advice), with no holds and with the full RWY just for me. Good job there!!
Thank you! I’ll do the same next year...
What can I say. Once again, fantastic as usual. Thanks for the ride. I enjoyed it.
Too wild Niko! Good flight!
I don't know how anyone can fly in as a single pilot with no help, crazy... It will be a few years before I attempt flying in to OSH even with help, but you and your former CFI did a great job Paisano...
Nico, you got a little blood pressure up there for sure....been on a few of those and yep it does get that heart up! Glad you took us along for the ride...See ya around Florida...
I sure did lol 😂
Niko, great editing effort. You caught the flavor of AirVenture. Greatly appreciated
That was my goal. I think it worked good. Thank you!
Beautifully done chronicle of an epic adventure. Thanks for sharing.
I'm from Brazil. Congratulations. Beautiful the video, and take-off and landing.
Awesome footage and experience. I love seeing OSHKOSH videos and you guys made it look easy. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Flying in the tower sounded like an auctioneer! You passed the Oshkosh trial by fire!
Mate. That was a good vid. And the colours on landing with the new camera were fricken awesome
Thanks for sharing. Great to be on the adventure with you.
WOW !!! So stressful !!! Amazing job !!! Happy for you ! Thx for the ride !
Man, I sqweezed by bottom in the pattern. Awesome job! Cheers from The Netherlands!
I know this is old, but for those of us new to how they do things at AirVenture what day and at what time would be best to catch them doing the dual departures from a single runway like you did here??? I'm still catching up on all your vids but this was awesome. I loved how you waved at the other plane (I'm sure they were waving back too!)
Looked like great fun! thanks for the coverage!
Thanks again for the ride! Gus
Dam that was intense. Good flying niko.....
I love your videos niko, tell them I say hi :) got yourself a new sub!
Welcome!
Niko's Wings I actually have an uncle that’s a pilot
I live North of Oshkosh. Nice channel and Oshkosh is Best Around. We are lucky to Have it, in our area. Nice plane you have.
Amazing upload. Loved it!
That's awesome Niko! Wish i got to see you, I drove in and camped. First time I ever went to oshkosh and I definitely want to go back!
Awesome guys, thanks for sharing.
It is clear that the controller had about seven cups of black coffee before his shift.
Good job!
good stuff Nicko as usual
Great Job!!
That was awesome Niko.
Fantastic piece of flying sir!!
Great video Niko! Always look forward to new content from you. Are you still going to Greece this summer?
that was awesome, thank you!!
Awesome video. Landing at Oshkosh more stressful than full IMC.
Wow..pretty intense. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for great video, your instructor seems pretty cool down to earth guy 👍
He is a great guy
Wing-rockin' adventure... literally! Good ride.
"Go around" (red)
"This guy cut us off" (yellow)
On peut être fier de ne pas faire,
alors on est le plus fort quand même,
Thank's pour l'info outre atlantique.
Absolutely love your videos
That was crazy, but fun watching in from my couch! Damn. I want to do that!
I have been wanting to get my pilots license for decades but I worry about not understanding the controllers. If people don’t speak clearly and not to fast I won’t understand what’s being said. WOW! As blurred speech as most radios sound to me I don’t see how anyone understands what’s being said. I love flying!
Charles it’s not that difficult actually. It’s a very limited terminology with very limited phraseology. Within a month into flight training you will be comfortable talking on the radio.
That was a trip
Wow... that Talos Av stuff is cool
Nice people too
Great video Niko....
great to see the Belgian VL3 featured in the video...
Hi Niko just found your channel and loving it. I live in Fort Lauderdale and just started learning to fly. Would love to hang out sometime and pick your brain. Great videos!
Anytime. I’ll announce some meetups once the new airplane arrives.
@@NikosWings sounds great!
cool video very interesting see you on the next one have a great Sunday enjoy
You too
Me during the landing: I'll never do that in my life. No way. Never.
Me once they park: I really want to do that some day.
Silly humans!
What an experience!
I don’t know how the chuff you kept your cool in the landing!
Nice job. Glad you enjoyed it! If you ever need any local assistance with anything hit me up...I'm 7 miles from OSH and can help. Seriously, you really can't see the whole thing in one year!lol!
Good to know. Thx
That ATC🤪
Great video Niko. I love the great content the RUclips pilots are putting out. It inspired me to join a local flying club and fly again! What is the track name for the song at the end of the video?
It’s called “scripts untold” by Magnus Ringblom. Amazingly beautiful tune I found through my epidemicsound.com membership.
Niko's Wings thanks!
Absolutely insane!
Perfect, just perfect....
Great video, thanks
Landing 18 is a tricky one and kudos for doing a go around! This is why I love flying into KFLD. What cameras did you use on the way out? Great vid btw.
Thanks, GoPro hero 6 and GoPro hero 5 looking forward
Hello Niko, first, that's a great video! Thanks for tharing with us. I'm a CFI in Brazil, and also have an RUclips Channel. I'd love to show some of the Oshkosh procedures to the Brazilial pilots, as they have no idea how all this insanity works!! This video could help a lot to ilustrate these procedures. Is it Ok for you if I use some parts of this video (with all credits given)?
Yes of course and send me the link. Feel free to translate it as needed.
Niko's Wings thanks a lot, my friend! Will work on that, and will send you the link once it's done!!
Holy crap... do they give you a teeshirt for that? 😂
Is it just me, or is that plane continuously playing up?
Blimey that was intense getting into OshKosh , you obviously spotted that yellow dot very early . I on the other hand didn't see it till you rolled over it lol . Strange approach that they make you do , what is the reason for that ?
It’s so that you can aim for something specific otherwise it’s a loooong runway and everyone would be landing on top of each other.
@@NikosWings Fair pint I never thought of that , seems to work well considering the amount of aircraft that were in the circuit .
