as a Chinook or Santa Ana. When this air is cold or cool, it is

Aero-Linx: Understanding Air
Traffic Control at Oshkosh
The information presented here was created by veteran Oshkosh
Air Traffic Controllers to give you - the pilot - a better

and
What we in ATC expect from you.
"In consideration of the continued weakness of the
economy and slow industry wide retail sales, we have made the
decision to forego the very significant expense of our traditional
exhibits at Oshkosh, NBAA and AOPA Summit in 2011."
