some people wonder why the original members of my club put in such a prodigious effort in creating our non-government funded airfield.
they were colour blind.
building the airfield outside controlled airspace was the only way that they could get peace from the regulatory bastardry of the 70's.
when I got the irrits with my club preventing me using the club tractors I went out and bought myself a little Kubota to use in my airfield development.
you may know that Kubota tractors are painted bright orange.
5 of my pilot friends have at various times have quietly asked my what I was thinking when I bought a bright yellow tractor. :-)
when we were discussing the CAsA bastardry the other night in the clubhouse I named the 5 pilots. none in my presence could believe that they had any impairment.
they are 5 of the best pilots in the club.
