Friendly place!
The fire was a faulty fridge and the local are OK if you speak slowly and clearly. Yep I am a pilot. 900 hours, 700 at this strip!
We have had a 182, a Pitts, an Auster and a 65hp Aeronca in so just leave space for the plane lads and leave the ego behind. We had one guy who reconed it was short for an XAIR. After doing a full stop landing, no backtrack and a take off the demo pilot sort of proved otherwise!
