airport courtesy
I was airboss at an airshow this weekend and after the show ended a young flight instructor flying a static display airplane from Southern Illinois University pushed it outside the crowd area. He cranked up and proceeded to make a 90 degree left turn out, prop blasting me and the sound guys equipment, blowing over tripods and speakers and all of my stuff all over the place. I still had control of the field and I did tell him about it on the radio. blasting an open hangar is taboo too.
When I learned to fly almost 40 years ago, the instructors taught airport etiquette, I did too when I was teaching, but I don't think anybody does anymore. I think its usually a matter of ignorance rather than arrogance. Chris M |

I don't know if anyone has ever told you.....
It would be hard to have this amount of poise and calm given we are talking about an RV, but I remember being 15 and playing golf. Walked right over the guy's line leaving a foot-print in the way of his birdie attempt.
He calmly told me,"I don't know if anyone has ever told you or not, but you shouldn't walk between a ball and the hole on a green. There are certain phrase-starters like this that accomplish everything we need to accomplish. No, I would have a hard time going to lunch not saying anything. |
