[QUOTE]Originally posted by ehbowen: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [qb]Don't think I'd ever have asked for a light-gun approach to KJFK. I did and was granted same at KELM (Elmira), KJVL (Janesville), KUGN (Waukegan) and a few others. KNYL (Yuma) at first hesitated but suggested I come in with a C172 as a flight of two. That was hairy; I lost the 172 in ground clutter (a 150's approach speed is a lot slower) and just aimed for the most likely runway. There were Marine C-130s waiting at the threshold for the small fry to clear their playground. [/qb][/QUOTE]I once asked for a light-gun departure at KHOU; I was ferrying a [URL=http://www.amerchampionaircraft.com/NewAircraft/Decathlon/Decathlon.html]Super Decathlon[/URL] with a bad radio to the avionics shop. Not a problem. Phoned the tower, told them I would take off on 12 Right, then turn right and follow Telephone Road until I reached the limits of the Class B airspace. I really loved that Decathlon. Soloed and passed my private checkride in it. For my final checkride prep with my instructor, we did spins & recovery. Under the hood. At night. Lots of fun! [/QB][/QUOTE]
