Well this post from "hulk" is interesting:

Someone will find you out, duh! Almost all of us write enough personal info here that if you piss off the entire site you'll be known. Better luck next time!

Looks like another case of SJS on top of being an FAA crybaby, great...

Well I dont really know what you are all so worked up about....I said it was a foolish / dangerous thing to do in two HP aircraft and it was simply my choice to report it to the FAA. Realize nothing will probably come of this but it is on record. Just keep pushing I will get my neighbors to mail complaints too, NOBODY in town like all the noise.

Then why did they move next to an airport?

A Lesson in Perception

We were on 8 mile final for a low approach, and heard a guy say "Cessna xxx is 6 miles out". Our lead informed him that a flight of 3 was 8 miles out. A couple moments later the Cessna says he is 6 miles out, and he's left base for the runway we are descending to. Lead again informs him that we are flight of 3. No 3 says "We are a group in formation, can you hold off". Next call is the Cessna xxx is 4 miles left base. No 2, me says "Listen you are 4 miles, and we are 5, and we are doing 180, can you hold off for a moment." He finally determines that we are cooking along, and very graciously says he'll circle south of the airport. I also think that he had no idea what a flight of 3 meant.

But it made me think. To often, we assume that the other aircraft in the air perform just like the one we are in. Especially when we are unfamiliar with the other aircraft. I'll bet there are thousands of poeple out flying in 150's, and 172's that don't have a clue what a Chancelor is, or a Golden Eagle. And for all those people, the fact that a Chancelor is 2 miles farther out than they are just doesn't register as a potential conflict.

I've been in a controlled airfield enviroment, told to follow a training school 172. I had to break off, and go around, because I was losing separation on the aircraft ahead.

The Cessna xxx was a Cessna 150. After he landed, we all thanked him for holding off. And then we showed him some of the video we had shot.

Really nice guy.

Okay, so that's my lesson for today. Just because someone is ahead or behind you, doesn't mean that all parties should continue as if we were all the same, because we are not.

For those of you that do know me,thank you for your support.

My new project is STARING YOU….what I need are videos of you pilots, either flying in the cockpit, pre-flighting aircraft, flight planning, or just BS’ing about aviation. Small Aircraft to Big Jets. Private Pilots to Airline ATP’s, CFII, Any Aircraft. All videos will be accepted. And be sure to EMULATE ME, Caneman in your videos. Just do your best.

Please keep it clean and loose and the objective is to motivate others, young and old, to bring aviation into everyone’s hearts.

Please send me the raw tape unedited, and I will then edit the videos and host them into a new show. So send me your tapes on mini DV or DVD files that I can copy. Also please send a release that states your name, address, phone number, and that you give me “caneman” permission to use your videos and your likeness in my show.

This is just an Idea, I do not have a lot of money to make this, so for now it would just be for the exposure and glory. For all of us.
