T-M: I'm so chilled that I didn't even seek him out on the ground to remonstrate! Yep, I was up there, but I am quite a lot, so the novelty of being dicked around by the badly trained has worn off!

Well trained/briefed newbies (and they do exist) would never have been so thoughtless/stupid/ego-centric.

The point being that neither of the wallies understood that they DID NOT have priority - both were down in the weeds (a la G-EMMA's post) and having gently suggested that "it might just be my turn to land", neither took any heed of this and bored on in.

The first driver (for he certainly wasn't a pilot) had such poor spatial awareness that I just hope he made it home safely today and will continue to do so, despite his lack of SA and airmanship.

The second saw a trend occurring and jumped on the bandwagon!

I have had a super day of aviating, however if by promulgating the acts of a couple of clowns - makes every one else have a super and safer day in the future, then I feel that our tiny community can only benefit.
