LOL! I remember many a time when someone in the bar would yell "DEAD
BUG". I miss those days too. :) --Walt Dudley Henriques wrote: I remember one time in front of the President of the United States; somebody hollered "Thunderbirds...dead ant!!!" You wouldn't believe the United States Air Force Thunderbirds... to a man...down on their butts...arms and legs in the air. God, I miss the good ole days!!! :-)))) Dudley Henriques "Christopher Campbell" wrote in message e.com...

I'm not going to get involved in politics here, especially since we
probably agree more than disagree. BZN is getting the radar, like it or not. Ten years ago it was an uncontrolled airport. It sure shouldn't be uncontrolled now. Ten years in the future it could very well be Class C. The current situation at BZN - one in, one out - isn't working well. You're right. And, I could tell my own stories about flying in and out of BZN, but there's no point. Anyway, perhaps we'll hook up some time. We travel to many of the fly-ins in Montana during the summer, and I'll look for a V-tail. Take care, my friend. --Walt Newps wrote: Walt wrote: That's interesting. I'm familiar with Ameriflight but don't know any of the pilots. I don't think the "City Fathers" have much to do with the radar that is being installed at Gallatin Field. They have everything to do with it. BZN does not qualify for radar but the airport authority said we'll pay for it. So you're getting one. Now who ever pays for it it doesn't matter. What you need to make sure of as a user is that an approach control runs your airspace, not Salt Lake Center. If Salt Lake runs the airspace, as they do now, nothing will change. It's one in or one out. If we here in Billings run it we will be able to use approach control rules, much more efficient use of the airspace for you folks. Tell everybody you run into. I know the controllers at Gallatin Field; some personally, others because I talk to'em when I fly. To say they are "the worst" is a bit of a stretch. I didn't say that but a regular user did. I've flown in there several times and the stuff they do makes me shake my head. They are not very good at controlling a pattern. A King Air comes over the mountains from Livingston and you are landing to the west and the controllers make every one follow the King Air. Terribly inefficient. If you fly out of BIL then we are, in Montana, neighbors. We'll have to hook up some time. Stop by for a tour at the new tower and see what Conrad got us. Otherwise head for the mountains and dirt strips and look for the V Tail, that's me. |

Believe me it takes locals like you to call your represenatives. Rehberg is your best bet. Your mayor too. Send an email to HLN FSDO. We here at BIL have been doing this for years. That's how stuff gets done, especially in a small state like ours. By the way what do you fly? |

Used to own a glider but had to sell it to help pay for my daughter's stem cell transplant. Do you belong to the Montana Pilots Association? We go to a number of fly-ins every summer, perhaps we could hook up at one. --Walt |

If you are one you should make plans for the annual work party at Schafer. Third weekend in July, about the 20th this year. I'll be at Three Forks as well. There's quite a few. I'll start looking for Warriors. |
