hopeing to nail it and move on to maybe EIAB next. I am really looking forward to landing at another airfield.

I had a friend training at NFC and he was on a solo xc to EIAB, and he got denied permission to enter "Abbeyshrule Airspace" on recent Saturday morning. There are a few disc jockeys there that love the sound of their own voice so much they've moved into an X factor scenario where they even judge other people's flying.... Anyway the last I read was that it's all class G, there were no ATC facilities and clearances can only be given by ATC in controlled airspace.

So do rock on, treat it as A/G only despite what it might sound like and maybe come on a weekday. Tends to have less "X Factor"....
