CTAF circuits with an elderly ultralight pilot in quite possibly the single mostridiculous looking aircraft I've ever seen, and uglier than a 170 year old germaine greer, where the flesh has started to decay and, well you get the point) mixing it up with various light trainers and a light twin inbound
"Ultralight ### turning downwind" (said aircraft cruising around 45 - 50 kts in the circuit, 152s in slow crz with flap still catching him
)
A solo student loses sight of him, so asks him of his location in the circuit
....Long pause....
"Ultralight ### turning base"
Someone else tries to contact him.
Sure enough, slightly shorter pause (base is shorter than downwind)
"Ultralight ### turning final"
Slow, stupid aircraft is also so far out that all behind him may as well give a 5 mile straight in call if they follow. Many a midair narrowly avoided that day, mostly due to proper lookout by the (comparably) high performance 150s, definitely not due to the ultralight, who seems unable to understand that you can use the radio to HEAR WHAT OTHER AIRCRAFT SAY AS WELL AS TALK TO THEM.
Well done buddy
Arr, the ranting be over!
