![]() "John Doe" wrote in message news ![]() I don't recall anything that says some big shot in a jet has a higher priority reason to land there than you do. That's why it's called a public airport. Of course they have a higher priority. They have 100+ passengers, they are trying to make a schedule, their fuel costs more than your plane, they fly at speeds that match the local traffic, they are almost always perfect at low IFR approaches - they fit in the system that was designed for them. You don't. If you want to use a Class B, go for it. But don't get ****ed off when you get vectored for half an hour to fit you into the pattern - that's like getting angry that New York has more traffic than Peoria. It's just part of the environment. And, by the way, if you get upset at the approach end, wait until you have to wait on line to depart behind 18 stinking jets at 105 degrees because you couldn't get the taxi clearance you wanted. Sure, we have every right to fly in and out of Class Bs. Sometimes, like in the case of the OP, it probably makes sense. But 99% of the time life is much easier landing at one of the local GA airports. Michael |
