Why is it that I'm always vectored for the airport at 15 or 20 miles out...only most of the time in a jet and ALWAYS when I'm in something doing 90 knots?
This is just a vent(and a real question), but there's nothing going on between me and the airport that won't be gone by the time my slow a$$ gets there. So, what gives? And please, noone give me the "you don't see the big picture" vit. This happens every time. And every time I end up flying a visual with no other traffic around me.
And it's never a small turn, either. It's like they're setting me up for the old Philly double downwind....and I'm doing 85 or 90! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Sigh. I feel better already.
