Yeah, we wouldn't want to actually go someplace that was actually
*friendly*, would we? snicker

ADS is pretty damn friendly, and the busyness keeps away a lot of idiots.

That's the same thing we say at the busy uncontrolled field I fly out of.

I've just had bad experiences at uncontrolled fields. Might be a
Indiana thing, but they sure seem to attract a lot of idiots.

Indeed.

I'm proud to be a pilot; I reckon it is a skill that takes some special
competence to acquire and maintain. But hearing and seeing how some of the
goobers operate airplanes can sure take some of that special shine off the
certificate.

And no, it's not just an Indiana thing. I'll put Alabama goobers up against
any you've got.

You're saying that Indiana attracts a lot of idiots? Yeah, you're probably
right... snicker

I was based out of HOU for awhile... Considering it is a large Class-B
airport and Southwest and Continental flies out of there quite a few flights
each day, it is *very* GA-friendly... Very seldom did I ever end up with the
taxi-from-hell to the end of 22... Usually a midfield departure from 12R...
If it wasn't too busy, I could just call up the tower directly while right
outside the Class-B inner circle instead of contacting Houston-Approach...
