But it was not fun (or safe) trying to park those airplanes after
dark...
The sunset "dead prop" rule is in effect for good reason! (although I
hear people sneaking in or out on occasion).


I've seen, no, heard people blasting out early, but never in. When was the
last time you heard of someone sneaking in?

Me, neither.

We watched some poor guy get turned away entering DOWNWIND for Rwy 27, when
the clock ticked over to 8 PM. The guy was practically *begging* to be
allowed to land, but no dice. (I personally thought this was a ridiculous
abuse of power, and would have had some pretty severe words with the control
tower supervisor, had it been me.)

We were all rooting for him to declare "bingo fuel"...
