.............now now EPIRB I care not to remember such things.Probably got a crook back 'cause of that !!!!!........ PID............boy that place was a joke when it came to rwy lighting & decent parking area's.
Saw the funniest thing down there years ago(not funny at the time tho). One late afternoon a low wing job came in for a touch & go & the airport owner saw this event (won't mention any names here) & when he spotted the offending plane (offending 'cause there where landing fees payable for all a/c, bit hard to pay when you bash & crash!)) he (owner) promptly got in his old old old clapped out car & proceeded to drive along the rwy & block the ldg A/C( a go-around was performed & he shot thru!)............all for what??.................$5 bucks or so at the time????............still ldg fees are another whole subject !

.............more to come am sure !
