Pattern Altitude
I was flying into BOI ( Boise Id.) last week and some guy ahead of me couldn't find the runway. They made me change my heading to give him more room to look for the airport. He finally found it with some help from approach. Then approach asked me if I had a visual on the airport. Well not from out here, but I told him where I was and he told me to contact the tower, and by the time I had turned the tower freq. I did have a visual on the runways. The smoke from the local fires was something. Only about two miles visability. I hope they get all of these fires put out. Bob
