Finis. You guys that have probably never set foot in Griffin Georgia and aren't at all interested in what's going on there can circle your wagons and hold hands by the campfire. It's no wonder there are splinter blogs mentioned on the first page. Bo now will have time to rejuvenate his...

Cap'n, you must r-e-a-d before you reply. The statement was "has not violated an FAR or AIM operating procedure" I did not state this was a regulation so your awareness of it not being one is correct but surely you must know there has been enforcement action against pilots for not following...

"I've done this many times and haven't broken a single rule." I was referring to the pilots that turn out on the upwind leg immediately after departure not after already established on the crosswind leg Dan. AIM Traffic Pattern Operations. When departing the traffic pattern, continue...

Cap'n Ron puts on a good presentation about the future hiring pool of airline pilots too. But Bo there is not a pilot out there flying today or alive and no longer flying that has not violated an FAR or AIM operating procedure once or more in his or her lifetime. Not a one. Cap'n is about 60...

It's pretty obvious you have a hard on for Dan. The NTSB reports you provided talk of aircraft flying "twice the height of light poles and 200 feet above crowded stadiums." That's far from flying a legal 1000 feet over a city. And you as a CFI should realize a DC-3 at 1000 feet AGL will look...

Cap'n to Captain. Unless there is a digital recording from ATL approach control to prove they busted the minimum allowable altitude with a mode C readout over their precious little city he will not be busted by someones best estimate. We agree that we disagree and that's OK.

Like I said, we flew for hours every night "buzzing" small cities while flight training and doing "low Passes" at the airports at 200 feet and it's still done every day and perfectly legal. It’s called a Go Around. If the Apt. Commissioners desire to set a precedent, they should be equally...

OK "Cap'n" Ron, If the airport after the fact tells him the original parking agreement became invalid after the AM left his position then maybe they should have mentioned it that day he left and had him sign a contract. That’s sounds like good business practice to me. In flight training I do...

Documentation? Let's start with the simple things by first reading the Griffin Airport Commission meeting minutes. http://www.cityofgriffin.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=%2BQhkw0GuqaE%3D&tabid=380 With all due respects, you can fly low over a city when approaching to land, you are not...

The Airport Commission and the petty city of Griffith have had Dan in their cross hairs for years now. Ever since the Carvair accident about 8 years ago they have been trying to get rid of the DC-3 and the associated training activities. Recently they erected concrete poles on the centerline at...
