<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As it relates to yell out item #3 at RRCC,
sometimes it comes out more like "Tosh EN ghoooe" (upon first hearing this
I didn't understand what was being communicated until noticing that each time
this was yelled it would be followed by a touch and go). Upon hearing this
particular phrase it's good advice to either land immediately or move to the
pilots station directly upwind from the yelling party and take a few steps
backwards. This allows the yelling party to act as a human shield to his plane
that will proceed to perform no less that 20 consecutive unpredictable touch and
goes. Normally I just land.</FONT></DIV>

size=2>I cannot recall ever having someone shot down at the RRCC. We also have
a frequecy board where the flyer puts his pin with name and frequency he is to
use. The pin matches, that is 14 on 14........So from the flight line...with
good eyes you can see who is up on what frequency....except in Lance's case
where he puts a pin marked 24 on 14 and then expects everyone else to
understand, that since his 24 is on the 14 spot, it must be 14. We do have
extra, free pins, so everyone can comply....Lance just refuses to.</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The embarassing part is the frequency call
(yell) out...some are more exuberant than others...I have actually
heard....</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>"25!!!!
25!!!............then someone else......"HUT HUT!"</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT

you are not flying.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Cannot
reccomend the yelling deal as it is very annoying when you are

1. Are you okay? (question posed to you to see if it is okay for
some guy to take off...usually happens during a K-4-and if you do not
answer it WILL
be repeated until you do answer-otherwise they assume you are about to
crash-Why else would you be upside down?)</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif

landing)</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>
3. Touch and Go! (a popular event on a Sunday-can be very dangerous-gotta
learn to duck and fly)</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>
