Yes I agree that, at 90% of the airports, this practice should not be encouraged. Marty Roberts was reprimanded at last year's Gathering by a local pilot who did not like his arrival techniques. There is a time and place for "hot dogging" and I personally do not feel that there was any problem with Bill's performance over Hartford. I see things like this there fairly frequently. A relaxed atmosphere does not mean that pilots are not using good common sense. There was no traffic in the area when this took place and if there had been, it would not have happened. This discussion could go on for a long time but the event is over, no one was hurt, everyone had a good time and everyone enjoyed the fly by. This is another story for the circle discussions.

My point is that the relaxed atmosphere at an airport should not be a substitute for good common sense. Activities perceived as hotdoggin' (usually by non-flyers) CAN come back and haunt the KR group. I don't think we want to promote that kind of reputation. My 2 cents worth. As Don Reid said, I don't want to be labled as a party-pooper. Me neither. Am I getting too old? :o) Ed Ed Janssen mailto:[email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Jones" <[email protected]> To: "KRnet" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 7:25 AM Subject: RE: KR> Hartford photo > Ed, > Hartford is a very relaxed airport with an exceptional amount of great guys and I have not met one yet that I did not like. When I first took my airplane to Hartford, a group of locals showed up to welcome me to the field. The first thing they said was that there were two rules at Hartford which must be abided by. The first rule is that if you screw up while flying around Hartford you must confess to your mistake. The second rule was that the youngest person in the group had to make the beer run. I knew right then that I liked Hartford. As a matter of fact, It would make a great place to hold a Gathering since it is such a relaxed environment. We have 85 aircraft based at Hartford and I would estimate 70% of those are homebuilt. It just does not get any better. The local newspaper caption would have read "Another Daring Young Man and His Flying Machine". Being as close to Oshkosh as I am does have it's benefits. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On > Behalf Of Ed Janssen > Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 10:13 PM > To: KRnet > Subject: Re: KR> Hartford photo > > > Wonder what the caption would have been if this picture had made it to the > front page of a Hartford newspaper?
