Air Rage in full form.
A certain Canadian in a C210 (pilot name CTD to those who remeber), I was in a B58 we both departed 11 for BTI and he departed first. Well as you would expect I was gaining on him fast, so let tower know that I would overtake him on his right.
Then:-
C210 :- TWR that Barons too close, request left turn...
TWR :- C210 turn left 10 deg's
C210 :- TWR I need more the Barons looks like its coming too fast
B58 :- C210 what r u on about?
C210 :- Your to close
TWR :- Something along the lines of, bit of personal animosity between you guys eh ???
B58 :- Passed the whinging Canadian
TWR :- C210 the Baron is now 2 miles in front and increasing
B58 :- I'll give you air rage...
At BTI, twas a few choice words spoken...
ANOTHER day when the met beauru got it terribly wrong in Darwin.
There were aircraft holding as weather was dismal, one plane got in in the hour. After getting a clearance and cleared to join the 11 LOC at 6000 number 4 to land and hearing every aircraft on the missed approach,
TWR, OKI think i've changed my mind about the approach BTI is clear and blue request track direct BTI.
Sounds like a good idea.
Well I snuck of to BTI to wait for the wx to clear.
I can only imagine what was going on on tower but alas 10 mins later, 2 Super Pumas, 1 metro, 1 Kingair, 2 Chieftains, C210, Baron and a Bonanza all arrived at BTI...
