“Radio not Traffic!!”

[Colonel]

Oops. A friend of mine flew to Canada today for the first time.

I forgot to mention this weird tower-lite class D-ish “Radio” thing where a pissed off FSS guy runs the freq.

No analogy here. My bad.

[Slick Goodlin]

Sounds like he flew to Sudbury.

[Colonel]

Heh. No, he sent me this weird text after he flew to Canada that sometimes with a CTAF there was a guy on the ground whom was kind of bossy.

I said, Oh yeah, Radio!

Down here there either is a Tower, or there isn’t. There isn’t an inbetween. Once again, I looked like a knob for not mentioning it.

Be nice to him, ok? He has a very smooth running Lycoming and a great dog with him. When you meet him on the ramp - not hard to spot him - tell him Andrew says “hi”.

I gave him some dual at Byron and RHV. The quality of tailwheel instruction today is a tad spotty. You know things have gotten pretty bad when you see me in the right seat in the pattern.
