Have You Given a Stranger a Ride?
I think I'll stay at my class D airport. I was hold short 17R as a Stearman was
landing on 17R. the tower told cleared across 17R, follow that Stearman, turn
left on Bravo. clear to park. The Stearman turned right, I wish Alfa 5 were
longer. Alfa 5 is an east-west taxiway and the wind was 17012KT. He was make
S-turns down the taxiway, and to look at Stearman you'd think there was no
crosswind. Beautiful.
While I was taxing to parking, a T-6 Texan II did a missed approach. He was to
high and I was to far away to get a good look, besides I was driving.

grading landings and takeoffs and tell how it should have been done.
Most airports I have been to have at least one geezer, and sometimes a
geezer shack. You may have to look for them though. We even found a
geezer at Van Nuys.
