    Back in my flying days, I always used to hate it when that happened.

    (BTW, Eddie, ATC always drops the "November". Since all US aircraft reg numbers begin with "N", it's a given and to save time, they generally only use the last three characters after the pilot checks in for the first time. So, it would have been "Seven echo golf, you're clear for straight in approach.")
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    What did you fly?

    My friend in CA has a 182 and I've been all over the state in that thing.

    Flying out of Sac Executive Airport in a windstorm was a real adventure.

    Well, I learned in a Taylorcraft L-2:



    but I few a number of different airplanes. My favorite was a Bellanca Decathlon. Haven't flown in almost 30 years, though. Too expensive.

    Jezzzus. Shortly after the original post, we had a mid air near the house. All four died.
