They're actually just two different spellings of the same original Irish name. Since O'Hara is the more common spelling, I'm not surprised that people mix this up. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |

I flew my 182 into Logan, Philly, Washington National and a few other fairly busy airports. They had no problem at all handling me with the jets. They usually brought me in on a close-in pattern and I landed on a runway other than what the airliners were using. I don't have any problem with a little crosswind and it worked out great. I flew into LAS after 160 hours TT and no IFR (now I got it) about a year ago. It was no big deal at all. They asked me a few times if I really meant LAS versus North Las Vegas but no big deal. It was a quiet night though. Going out, again no big deal even though they had be departing in the middle of 5 HP A320's, 4 SW 737's, a CO 757 and a few corporate jets and I was in a bug smashing 'PA-28-181 Heavy.' Now taxiing is a whole 'nother adventure at airports like that... :-) I didn't have to go far at LAS. But today I was flying out of Denver on United and I couldn't even follow the calls....actually some of them I could but man, that sounds complicated. gerald |

During one call I received quite the tongue-lashing from a particularly crabby Boston Flight Watch specialist about including my location and, presto-chango, no more mistake. As my father used to say, "you'll learn quicker from an ass-reaming than a success". He was generally correct. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE |

I did all my primary training in a Class B and it's not the tough, but you have to follow the rules and be flexible! I learned very early how to bring a 172 to the numbers at 120k (yes, it can be done at full throttle with the nose pushed over) and get off on the first high speed. It's the folks who try to fly the approach at 60k who make life intersting for the controllers. Ain't that the truth? When I was making my long solo cross country as a student, I dragged in a long approach to RDU at 60 knots, not knowing any better. When I wanted to leave a little later, the tower seemed to have great difficulty "hearing" me. I got the message loud and clear. Now I bring them in smoking and use a combination of chopped power, full flaps and slipping to stuff them onto the ground. A Cherokee Six can do 160 knots on the ILS if need be, and you will never hear the controller asking you to "keep the speed up". One exception: I was flying back to Charlotte in a C-402 one morning with only one brake. The controller keep after me to keep the speed up. As I got closer and closer, I kept trying to slow down but the controller got onto me again. Alrighty then.... I was cleared on very short final to land and "make the first turnoff ASAP". Needless to say, I rolled past that turnoff at a manly rate of speed. USAirways behind me had to go around. So sad, too bad. He shouldn't have rushed me. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE |

Would you admit on the air that you took off knowing that there was an item
of no-go equipment that didn't work? Jim "Jose" wrote in message ... One exception: I was flying back to Charlotte in a C-402 one morning with only one brake.
