NATCA Going Down in Flames

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.


Looks like Grand Prairie is about four miles from where you live, Arlington
is about six miles, Hicks is about twelve, Lakeview is about six, Mesquite
is about eleven, Lancaster is about eight, etc., etc., etc.

Grand Prairie, and Arlington are towered, although non-federal.

I used an online D sectional, it's rather hard to tell blue from magenta. I
see now that Grand Prairie has a control tower frequency shown, but
Arlington does not, and neither has Class D airspace depicted.

Even if those two do have control towers, any competent pilot can still fly
a lot of hours VFR in the area without having to call ATC.

Out of what airport, easily? You've yet to name an easy airport to get to.

First you found flying too hard, now driving is too hard as well?

I never said it was hard, I said I don't like it. Illiterate asshole.

Never? Just yesterday you posted:

hell it isn't even hard. Just ask the ag pilots.

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.

And where I used to fly? Very difficult to log 1000 hours VFR at any
time of year.

Not on Usenet, sorry.


Then I can't help you.

I wasn't asking for help. I know full well what kind of flying I can
and can't do based on my location. VFR in uncontrolled airspace is very
difficult.

I'm well aware of when radio contact with ATC and an IFR flight plan is
is necessary, thank you. I simply fail to see how all of the above is
not difficult.



Illiterate asshole.


Potty mouth!

Grand Prairie is a 45 minute drive for me. Arlington can be an hour on
bad days. Mesquite, easily and hour and a half (plus, you'll get shot
on the way), and Lancaster? Over two hours to get to Lancaster.

45 minutes to go four miles? Drive faster.

Have you ever been to DFW? Don't comment on something that you know
nothing about.
