First, welcome back. Still working on your
Europa? How's it coming?

As long as I keep sending checks to Flightcrafters, it keeps getting closer
to getting completed.

Really, it wasn't that bad. I had already made a
'normal' call turning base-to-final. I made a
short final call because I thought I heard someone
else call final for the same field. Freq. congestion
wasn't an issue - believe me, it gets a lot worse out
there.

I understand. Having watched the vid a few more times I realize now that
virtually all of the radio traffic was folks "way out yonder" and they
weren't a factor in whether or not you could make a call. For some reason,
though, I really, *really* felt like you were itching to make a call further
out and - this is what's funny - *I* got nervous that it was taking so long.
I guess you paid me back a little for making your stomach flip at P-ville.


I've been places, dad.

Yeah, I know, and I still shudder when I think about
some of your stories. g
