No. I was talking to SWF tower - a controlled field 9 miles east of MJG -
the uncontrolled field whose downwind I was entering... I miswrote, tho - he would have called me 9 miles West of his field... A Lieberman wrote in : Judah wrote: As I am coming up on the downwind, I call in - entering the midfield downwind for 9. A few seconds later he asks me to ident. A few seconds later he tells me he "Radar Contact, 9 miles east of the airport." I'm looking at a runway now, figuring I'm about 2 miles out entering the midfield downwind. After asking him to say again, I realize what's going on... Orange County (MJG) is about 8 or 9 miles east of SWF. I'm setting up for Runway 8 at Orange. Fortunately, it's not a controlled field, Huh? An UNCONTROLLED field has radar facilities??? I don't have a sectional for this area, but is it possible you were talking to Center / Approach or Departure rather then MJG Unicom? Allen |
