Behave yourself at CBG, I have a friend who will no doubt have to come into work on a Saturday if you take a DC-3 in there

Marshalls do the handling now.

If you pop down the motorway a few miles you reach another airport and that was the closest I have ever come to submitting an MOR voluntarily - i.e. not compulsorily at work.

There I was doing my power checks at the holding point - just check AIP after I write this - methinks!! Was in a PA-32RT - you know the T-tailed one. Well I always felt the tail on these to be a little vulnerable. Ever seen anyone do a walk round with a bloody great step ladder to check all the hinges

I digress. Anyway the Lance can be a heavy beast and I don't like grass runways when there is a metalled option. If memory serves me right the hold for the tarmac rwy is in the undershoot of the grass one. My lucky day - two show offs in a Harvard formation were out. Most would know who the "lead" pilot was
and sure enough they decided to do a low fly by right over my T tail with the smoke on. Impressed not.

Oh the joy and safety that regulated airspace can sometimes bring, but you do get fed up with radar headings
