One thing I've noticed the past 6 months in the Denver area is the
increasing number of safety/informative offerings by the FSDO.
Seems like there's one every other week. The one this weekend has
a speaker from the USAF Academy about mid-air collisions - mostly
explaining where the zoomies fly and that they aren't listening to
the same people we are! (Which annoys the **** out of me, as I'm
one of those who almost had metal-to-plastic instrusion. I'm talking
to Class C COS, as required, but the zoomies aint!)


So what frequency are they on when they overfly Meadowlake airport
(00V)? When wil they hold such a forum at 00V where the USAFA Katanas
overfly nearly every day.


Ron:

If you haven't gotten the notice from the FSDO, it's this Saturday
morning at FTG. If you can't make it, call the USAFA Flight Club
and ask them for a copy of their SOP. It's *not* the one the
cadets use, it's for the flight club there, but it has ALL the
freqs that everyone there uses, the various departure & arrival
procedures that both the cadets and the flight club use, and
great graphics that describe the cadets' training areas.

I lost mine, or I'd send you a copy.
