Grimbor Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I am in the process of flying around the US by visiting each of the state capitals. Having started from Reagan National (KDCA) I am now in Helena, Montana (KHLN) and the 24 flights I have made have been largely incident free. There are a few exceptions… ATC gave me clearance to land and to follow a Mooney Bravo. The Bravo proceeded to use the entire length of a 9000ft runway for its roll out before turning off. Yep, I had to go around. Once, whilst pushing back, a fuel truck nearly took my tail off. Talking of fuel truck drivers, having just landed (Indianapolis I think) ground control told me to hold position due to ground traffic. This dimwitted truck driver drove up to me and obviously felt that I should give way. Note that this pic was taken after I had pushed back about 100ft. He kept inching forward until I was very much back on the runway that I had landed on. The most recent incident had me laughing. I was flying from Lincoln, Nebraska (KLNK) to Cheyenne, Wyoming (KCYS) after installing FTX Global Base and AS16. Nice easy flight with really good weather. With AS being a new toy, I was regularly checking the weather reports, especially at KCYS. All reports were good, few clouds at high altitude and no precipitation. Imagine my surprise when, 50 miles out, I saw some very large clouds on the horizon. Was that a flash of lightning? Yes it was! Well, it did make for a more interesting landing. The following screenshot was taken whilst I was taxiing to parking… I think the weather man at KCYS must have gone to the Michael Fish school of meteorology. The next adventure was a low level flight from KCYS to KHLN. But, that’s a story for another time. Grim Grim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Come to think of it I may have edited the taxiway at that point and it's probably my own fault, but at eddf addon airport there's a spot where a truck crosses 7c sometimes. I like it actually. Going around after touching down proves I 'still got it' down! :) happy flights.:cool: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
