Yield signs in the pattern

[Michael 182]

Just an idea. Landed at Longmont 2V2 today and some jerk transitioned the
pattern 100 feet above pattern altitude. Came up on my six o'clock - never
saw him until he was filling my windshield.

Just one more reminder to keep the head on a swivel...

Is Vern Banta still flying out there? He had a Luscombe 8F I got my
tailwheel training in, and later boiught a 170B. He was chief
instructor for both Longmont and Boulder (maybe his wife was Cheif,
but he instructed there).

He was a good guy, and I was thinking about him recently while tooling
around in a Cub.

Thanks,

So, how do you know he was a jerk-- did you actually meet him somewhere to
determine that?

No, I'll just assume that any pilot that transitions through a pattern at an
uncontrolled airport at pattern altitude has some amount of jerk in him
waiting to get assigned...
