'XXX, I was waiting for an IFR clearance. Too bad.'
What is an "IFR clearance" anyway?
If I have submitted an IFR flight plan then do I need ATC permission to fly IFR? What happened to the airways clearance when departing in CTA & giving taxi report "IFR" to FS to get IFR traffic OCTA.
Have they lowered the steps over YJAB or has Bob lashed out & put a tower there recently. Would have prefered some decent lights instead of those battery powered jobbies.
Sounds like a gen Yer with out a clue (no surprises there) or bull**** artist trying to piss Bob off (which wouldn't be difficult). That is if he hasn't retired.
