sorry
should have been more specific
by 'you', I meant 'you-in-general', not specifically the guy who started this post. He does not seem bitter to me.

when the buzz is gone? then (in my opinion): GET OUT do yourself a favour, don't be the victim. don't take to complaining and falling into bitterness. spare everyone the episodes where you go about as if you are trapped in your own life with no options. Life is too short. if money is all you care ab...

without warning, the instructor jumped out, just like that. I didn't even see it coming. then a couple of circuits. It didn't hit me until after, on the ground, driving home . . . then the feeling of elation and that silly grin that kept creeping back onto my face. called home collect, using the nam...

a word of warning to any air mikisew hopefuls: a friend of mine was holding over at the Esso Aviatat one fine day when he witnessed this: AirMik's chief pilot nearly ran over a marshaller in YXD - he came storming in and wouldn't slow down his airplane. The marshaller eventually threw down the wands...

I think I know why. . .

thanks

does anyone know where Justin has got to? (Used to fly the PA31).

hmm, yes, i see all your points.
The thing is, at this particular airport there is a 360 degree cab and no one is ever asked to report airborne. But then, pilots fly at many airports so you get used to operating in the same or similar fashion at each one. . .

Off topic, but not by too much: Why oh why do pilots report airborne off a runway when there is a ground station in operation (either tower or fss)?!? EG: "## radio, ABC is airborne off 34". Ever notice those great big windows in the tower? They can see you! Maybe I'm not understanding the full pict...
