Thank you guys
A big "thank-you" to all the folks involved in helping the AVV traffic over the weekend. Seems you did a very good job with a little hinderence from us GA types.
A few of the calls to Director seemed to be inaccurate in their position reports, talking over the top of other calls and just not following std GAAP phraseology. Given the number of aircraft inbound as we arrived, a job well done. TWR did a fantastic job of running both runways while politely dealing with any miscreants, including reminding some to vacate the runway at their earliest (sorry, I missed that first taxiway!!)
Also: MEL RDR monitoring traffic and assisting those near the show - and not forgetting the Ground Marshalls (they don't have a forum do they??), one poor lass almost threw herself in front of one johnnie who couldn't read her stop signal!!
All-in-all made for a stress-free means of getting to and from the airshow which we will repeat in two years (unless RPT traffic volumes preclude another bash at AVV).
