Citizens On Patrol, the local flyer playing airport enforcer. Have you met one yet?

he's still there as of last tuesday....I witnessed it first hand, he gives all the jump planes hell. Luckily I think they cut his shifts down to one or two a week and people just put up with it.

I wonder if he or his employer understand the liablity he is accepting by jumping into the control of airplanes?

I seem to remember one of those county employees playing CTAF air traffic controller over on in Michigan or Indiana. It was kind of distracting to get a clearance to land from some guy on CTAF at a non-towered airport. I just kind of ignored it for the most part.

Should have asked for clearance to fart and then clearance to get a chili dog from the restraunt next-door, not to mention clearance on his daughter... BOOYAH!

FWIW,

Using the CTAF or Unicom for any kind of air traffic control is a HUGE no no in the eyes of the feds, let alone someone unqualified acting in any kind of ATC capacity.

There are so many things wrong with this, I'm surprised the feds haven't gone tilt. Maybe a call to 1-800-Fly-safe might be in order...
