Plane stalking

Postby Moach » Thu Jul 10, 2003 5:32 pm

i was down at Meigs field trying out some planes when i overheard a Baron requesting IFR to FLINT AIRPORT 8)

i thought "where the hell is Flint? i wanna know" so i decided to tag along ::)

as he started to taxi i began following him, i couldn't ask for takeoff clearance or they would have me held back

so i used HIS ;D ;D ;D

i took of with him, when he throttled up i throttled up

at that point i had to figure out the right airplane to follow him with, the one i was in was too slow
i figured i'd need a FASTER plane than his, but one that could fly comfortably at the same speed he was going

i chose the Douglas A-26
and i managed to keep up with his flight all across lake Michigan

after crossing the lake i was afraid that FLINT could be half-way across the world, but lucky for me it wasn't

i had to listen to him talking on the radio, so i could know what he was gonna do next, so i tuned but did not contact any of the centers he went through
and after every center he contacted, i heard the controller say: "TRAFFIC ALERT, LESS THAN ONE MILE" there was me  ;D

i overheard the center giving him vectors for landing, and i was really happy becuse untill that point, i didn't know for how long i'd have to continue flying and my neck was really starting to hurt :P

unfortunatly enough i crashed into him while trying to get a REALLY close snapshot of us flying side by side :(

too bad...  i still don't know where FLINT is :P
If nature wanted a man to fly - It would have given him more money
