I got my final revenge against all curly topped mowers of grass some time later.

I came into the circuit crosswind at Malelaua(a really long and very wide coastal strip) and saw a chap on a tractor mowing the strip. I went crosswind at about 500' right in front of him and when I turned final he was still mowing but now facing me.

He just ignored me, did a U turn and kept mowing. There was room to land behind him so I did. As I came up behind him, with reverse roaring, he gave me the finger and started swerving over to the right!

Rude ******!

Well he went right so I went right! he went left so I went left I chased him till he lept off the tractor and it went into a shallow drainage trench just off the flight strip!

When I taxied back to the parking bay the local white bloke(who owned said tractor and employed said non-reflective) was doubled over with hysterics.

I hate lawn mowers

Chuckles.
