No more "Left Downwind"?
Why? That is where all the pilots (and hence all the fun is)...
Speaking of clogging up the frequency... I was 15 out from Nappanee (C02) Indiana trying to announce my arrival when I hear someone on the frequency describing to someone else, what they did the previous weekend, in minute detail... I swear the frequency was taking up by this guy for 5 minutes straight... When he finished his diatribe I barely had the time to announce my plans... That was the first time I have ever heard this kind of frequency robbing inconsiderateness... I swear it was like listening to some ham radio operator with a bad case of verbal diarrhea...

"Jeff--is that you?" "Yeah, it's me." "How ya doing?" "Okay, I guess." (Heard on a holiday weekend.) The above is why I avoid small uncontrolled airports on the weekends.

inconsiderateness... I swear it was like listening to some ham radio operator with a bad case of verbal diarrhea... We heard a lot of that on our flight into OSH this year. The worst (thankfully, on an air-to-air frequency) was when a woman was READING THE OSHKOSH NOTAM to another pilot, apparently flying with her as a flight of two. We were incredulous... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

The biggest offender I've ever noticed is MCX. I don't know who they share the CTAF with, but I swear I used to know everyone's weekend plans in central Indiana. NONE OF US CARE!!!
