No doubt. But this was an idiot trying to prove a point, at an airport that 

was trying to run off any and all ultralights. And if he was in a hurry, I 

would have been glad to wait and let him go, no problem, I was just out 

goofing around. But in this case, he was showing his rear end.



Have seen the same thing relative to bikes. Many years ago, as a teenager, I 

was jogging home at 3 in the morning down the main drag in Hialeah Florida. 

Very well lit area, many streetlights. Some dude on a Harley Fat-Something 

was slowly putting his way toward me, and I got to watch some woman in a 

Buick cross three lanes of traffic, chase him up on the sidewalk, determined 

to do him in. The only thing that saved him was his stopping behind the 

power pole, at which point she quit the chase and went on her way. He sat on 

the hog for a minute shaking his head, and then resumed his interrupted 

trip.



Moral to the story: Roger, good copy the rude wacko on the sidewalk. Or 

crossing the hold line.



Protect yourself at all times.

Russ/Gang:



Several years ago I landed at Sierra Vista, AZ.   I had already turned 

short final, had been in the pattern a while, calling my position and 

intention all the way.  I heard one of the C-54 fire fighting water 

tankers calling straight in for my runway.  I called again short final 

and soon touched down and turned off, just as that big sucker buzzed 

me.  Very close.  He was fussing about having to make a go around and 

how much time and money it was costing.



A couple hours later I departed Sierra Vista to the north.  Heard same 

C-54 call departing.  I couldn't see behind me, but I knew this turkey 

was going to screw with me again.  He did, very close, too close for 

me.  I keyed the mike and politely told him that one day we would meet 

on the ground, on a much more equal footing.  He did not reply. 

Either he did not hear me or did not pay any attention to what I had 

said.



Always amazes me how folks in progressively larger and faster aircraft 

assume the part that they are also larger and faster than they really 

are.



An exception to the many, many polite, professional pilots out there.

We base very close to (4 miles) and fly in & out of Cartersville Airport, just

N.W. of Atlanta.

Anytime we hear (_ _ _ Pappa Alpha) = Phoenix Air

It's "duck & cover" time.

They are fast and grey and hard to see. Little dots that get big real fast!

Nice guys and we get along fine, but we both know who has the right of way.

And it ain't us.

Possums,



Circa summer of 1967.  There was a notice in the FBO shack at Gunn 

Airfield about 5 miles south of Stone Mountain, GA, to be on the 

lookout for large aircraft spraying for Fire Ants. I was taking off in 

an old straight tail C-150 and was perhaps as high as 300 feet AGL at 

the departure end of the runway when a B-17 converted for spraying Fire 

Ants flew directly beneath me just off the end of the runway at 90 

degrees to my path.  See and avoid is hard to do sometimes, and failing 

to do so or not being lucky can be catastrophic.



BTW, if you are wondering why I capitalized Fire Ants, then clearly you 

have never had a too close encounter with them.

Thom:



Rebels are intimately familiar with FIRE ANTS!  Seems to be part of 

our heritage.

Bob,



As I said, no FAR ANTS around here, but if they were good for clearing 

snow and ice, they would be worth their weight in gold this time of 

year.



So far this month we've not had a single day in which the high 

temperature was anywhere near thawing. Y'all down south refer to 32 

degrees F as the freezing temperature, up here we call it the thawing 

temperature.

Thom:



Buffalo is in another country, north of the Arctic Circle, is it not?



We bumped 19F last night.  Coldest temp this year.  Hopefully, it will 

be the last.  I got stuff to do outside and freezing temps and me do 

not get along.
