'OS' as goldstar said(whoops 'Gordstar') I feel yr frustration but at least you can sit there shaking yr head (which you must do a lot) some of us drivers can't afford to just 'sit' there we have to act & at times it's a real inconvenience & bloody dangerous. Recently I flew into a well known gliding strip where there was some kind of comp on. Trust me I had every eye available onboard looking out for gliders as these are at times in another world despite giving several calls I recieved just one who had good situational awareness & plain english R/T procedures.
BLT is now a huge concern for us do the increased foreign training going on there, same CTAF as 2 other well used AD's of which you can hear traffic at all 3 when approaching the BLT circuit.

'OS' if you have to ask.......'is there an instructor onbaord' then God 'elp us!!!
