Steven P, McNicoll just ****ed me off

Hey, when you are at The Duke's airport, you take those chances, pilgrim.
Got it?

But this guy floored it before the turn was even made. Full throttle.

In future, Steven, do not concern yourself with accuracy. However, be sure
your tone doesn't offend anyone. This is more important.

I got that at RDU once. They told me to expedite 'cause a Delta 737 was on a
four mile final. I was 400' up when I passed the tower.

Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to
use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks.

I had that conversation at an airport outside Atlanta this spring.

N6205Y, you ready to go? We're gonna shoot you out of here fast, once
cleared for take off, do NOT, repeat do NOT stop on the runway, traffic is a
xxxsuperjet on a x mile final. I need a tight left turn out when able.

Cessna took the runway in front of me, once he was airborne, Tower told me
ready set go and I was gone. Did a short field take off, and a max
performance climbing left turn. We got a "yee-haw" from somebody and a
"thank-you very much" from the tower.

Interesting... Is it more important for a CFI to be accurate or have a
better 'tone'? I guess I prefer a more accurate CFI 'cause I stuck with my
Private CFI for my Instrument. Don't tell him that though.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made it off the runway...
Someday, somebody ends up on the freeway at the end. The runway is
awfully short.
But the local population didn't want to have the El Toro base converted
to a civilian airport.

It would be best to have both, however.

It's funny, I can relate both to the folks who get irritated with Steven
(though frankly, in this particular set of threads, it seems to me all he's
done is provide accurate information...I didn't see anything irritating
about that), as well as to Steven himself. We both get crap for our "method
of delivery", even when we are providing accurate information, while the
folks who go around cussing and throwing around personal insults are
apparently condoned (activities that Steven and I both practically never
engage in, nor do many of the other "factually correct" folks here).

Just one of the funny things about Usenet, I guess. It's okay to go ad
hominem and use foul language, but don't you dare get caught acting like you
actually might KNOW something.

Your know it all attitude.


I never claimed to know it all, but I do know a lot.

So do a lot of us. I think that your condescending language on this
particular topic will not serve any purpose to improve flying safety.

And your infantile cry for attention by naming another poster in the subject
line will?

I think you're reading
things in to my messages.

I think not.

Well, you appear to be wrong. Nobody's defending you in this thread. You
are empirically certified as ignored and unloved. Now, OT, it's hard to see
planes on runways. I've missed one; and I'm not alone. Ask.

I had a courier job once where I flew out of RDU five days a week. On numerous
occasions I was given a "go now or hold your piece (spelling intentional)". I'd
forego the wake separation, blast off and turn onto course once I was 20 feet or
so in the air... getting away from the centerline ASAP so someone else could use
it. Sometimes they'd let me go before an airliner that got there first simply
because they knew I wouldn't be a factor for very long at all. The airliners
couldn't do the same.

My cancelled checks sitting in the back never complained.

Ever been to Grand Cayman? I flew down there once on a Cayman Airways B-727 and
when we got stopped and turned to taxi back to the terminal, the right wing was
hanging over the water at the end of the strip.

I know I was impressed.
