AOPA Propaganda, cont.

even in the rude parts of the country (Chicago, New York, St.
Louis, etc) where being rude seems to be a local disease, many

Agreed. I've never had any issues with NY TRACON controllers (I fly out
SW Connecticut) as long as they see you're competant on the radio and
are not 5 miles behind the airplane. Missing calls is the fastest way
to get on a controller's sh*t list by far, especially in this busier
airspace, but on slower days they are often very accomodating to VFR GA
types.
