Sounds to be the same.
Crossing airport zones requires permission which can oft times be refused at the last minute so it is always best to have your alternative route easily to hand.
Sounds like our controllers go to the same school.
French ATC feign polite disinterest in anything with a G prefix.
We have Montreal, the France of the West. They show the same warm welcome to the N prefixes.
Do any of your airline primary training programs take place in the UK or do the outsource all of that to the States? A state a way from me in Michigan, BA does their primary training in Battle Creek, the home of the Kelloggs cereal maker. It’s quite different to hear “Speedbird” being used on the frequency and C172’s flying 747 patterns.
futurshox: I’m jealous that you got to see the airshow put on by the Lone Star Flight Museum. They have an awesome collection. I saw it for the first time in December of ’01. From what I was told by a gentleman working their nearly all the aircraft are owned by one man, he’s just nice enough to put them on display for us to see.
One aircraft that was on loan when I visited was an A-36 Mustang. Was it still there and did it happen to fly at the airshow?
