Is it possible you mean Teterboro?

I've never heard of Tedabero. At first I thought it was just a typo, but
you've spelled the name that way several times now.

Why pick on that? He can't spell anything else either.

Because I'm honestly not clear on what airport he's talking about. At this
point, I think it's very LIKELY to be Teterboro. But unlike some of his
other misspellings, place names are not immediately obvious as misspellings.
All I know for sure is that he's misspelled the name; it could be a
misspelling of some place else entirely.

Of course, if he'd just post the actual ID rather than making one up
("TRI"), we'd know for sure. But he seems incapable of doing that as well.

If I were actually "picking" on him, I'd write something like "you idiot,
why don't you spell-check your posts?" But I think it's a waste of time to
make editorial comments about other people's spelling (as I mentioned just
recently in another thread).

I just want to know for sure what place he's talking about. Of course, at
this point I'm questioning why I really care. But there you have it.

Well,
When you say TRI, which it was not and then a town no one knows....makes
me wonder if he knows where he is? Also makes me wonder if the person is a
pilot. Wouldn't a pilot know the airport he was just at? It just has not
made any sense, IMHO. Maybe this is the next 150 pilot to get escorted by
the USAF,...they will be happy to give directions ! I'm with ya Pete ,
don't have a clue why I am even following this one!

I notice Google Groups has no history on this dude, but his "style"
somehow seems familiar. I wonder if he's changing the place names in
his story because he's worried about getting in trouble for running out
of gas on short final. Perhaps he's taken some grief from members of
the group here in the past for something he admitted doing that he
shouldn't have, say perhaps rolling a Cessna 150 or some such. Maybe
he's not from the east coast at all. Maybe he's actually a PILOT up in
the NW somewhere.

I'll bet his real name is Steven though.

Just a hunch.
