Regs regarding "VFR flight following?" (also: "need to vent")
I remember once coming back from Florida over Charlotte, SC in a friend's
PA-24-250. We'd been slow-baking at 10,500 for about 3 hours without O2, so we were probably both a bit hypoxic. We were going to go right over the top (top is at 10.5)... they "refused," saying we could go to 12500 if we wanted. Unable, so we were vectored 20 miles out of our way. No I know the "correct" way to hand this would be to terminate radar services. You were over the *top* of their airspace, and they vectored you 20 miles out of the way? I'd have told them to pound salt. Politely, of course... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
