Ooops ... incident at Santa Fe

I guess this shows the difficulty of figuring out what's underneath you. I
guess if you hear about traffic but do not see it, you should assume it is
right where you can't see it rather than safely away from you. Just
speculation, of course.

Well, that arrival looked only slightly less successful than the
infamous Cherokee-on-Cessna landing from a few years back. Is there
some kind of magnetic attraction between V-tail Bonanzas?

I loved this quote from the story - who knew airports had to be
rated(?) My guess is the remote control lighting had little to do with
a daylight incident. smirk

"Los Alamos County Airport, which is rated for small, private aircraft
and has no commercial flights, has no air-traffic controller. Pilots
approaching the airport use remote control to turn on the lights."

They were testing the stackability of V-tails.
The straight tail models will not stack because of the vertical
stablizer.

Damn.... If only there had been someone at the airport to turn on the lights
and not left it up to the pilots this could have been avoided.

And not only the lights, but this could have been avoided if only
those pilots had filed flight plans...true?

You have to wonder what are the chances? I can go weeks without even seeing a
V-tail Bonanza. That guy can't land without seeing one on his roof. Was that
the annual meeting of the Sante Fe V-Tail Association?

Really? I see one every time I fly.

It all depends on where you fly from. My airport only rents Pipers and Cessnas.
If you want to fly Beechcraft, you need to go to Monroe. They've got plenty of
them. Personally, I've never even flown a Bonanza. The only Beeches I've ever
flown was the T-34B and the B-76 Duchess.

I own and fly a Bonanza V35B. That was the lame attempt at a joke.

Understood. I've flown probably a couple of dozen types over the years. It's a
wonder that I never got around to flying a Bonanza... then I started to think
about why. The Monroe, NC airport is very active and by all reports a fine
facility that emphasizes Beech products. It's just further than I wanted to
drive when I had the Rock Hill, SC airport only about 25 minutes from the
house.... and they rented Piper and Cessna.

As for my former employers, I flew what they gave me. It just never ended up
being Beechcraft... probably because they were more expensive to acquire.

But I knew you were up to no good. G
