NATCA Going Down in Flames

Sounds like a case of "if it's not in my back yard, it's not a problem".
It reminds me of the DC ADIZ.

I'm not saying anything's not a problem. If you can fly without talking
to ATC, more power to you. I can't.

FAA towers, FAA contract towers, non-federal control towers, and military

My typo!

I left out "union".

Someone would have, if you hadn't refused to identify your local area.


DFW. You honestly think I'm going to get more specific that that?

I'm still trying to figure out how that's not hard. At least where I
fly, it's very difficult to not enter controlled airspace.

You don't need a controller to fly in E, and there's still a lot of G
under the E.
Not around here.

You probably can.

No. You probably realize if you got more specific than that you'd receive
an explanation of how you can fly VFR near your home without talking to ATC,
and you don't want that.

There probably is.

What, the airplane will fall out of the air if you aren't talking to
someone?

No. I realize that I've had stalkers on Usenet before, and it's no
one's business where I live. I live in the surface area of a Class B
airport. Check out a chart and you'll see how far it is from any Class
B airport in this area to airports and airspace where I don't have to
talk to ATC.

No, there are no airports around me that are not B or D.
