Just got back from the airport.
My BVI buddy was on a flight out of Washington that was scheduled to
arrive
Halifax at 2108 hrs.
When I started out, I had to wipe a skim of ice from the windows...a bad
sign. Talk about pea soup fog......
I was travelling at 80km and sometimes dipping down to 70 and even 60km.
Big trucks whipping by kicking up crap all over my windshield. My eyesight
is getting bad at night in the best conditions, let alone like this.
Oh yeah..that wimpy 'merican pilot circled our airport a few times and
then
ran back toHartford, Connecticut.
Now I'll have to go back out tomorrow. If his plane comes in at night,
I'll
tell him to jump the airport bus and I'll meet him at a downtown hotel.
Safer for all concerned.

You're acting more like your lover/master/clone Harry every day.
Please answer the following:

1. How do you know that the pilot was American?
2. By "'merican" did you mean the United States?
3. While the pilot has ultimate control, do you think it was his
decision alone to not land at Halifax?
4. Do you really think that a well trained pilot should put his
passengers, crew, and expensive plane at risk just so some idiot in
Halifax won't call him "whimpy"?
5. Did you fetch your son beer while you were out?

mmmmm "Did you fetch your son beer while you were out?"
As talented and multi-tasking as I am...that would be difficult even for me.

A Continental flight from Newark landed just before my buddies United
flight.
Just who do you think pilots United Airlines planes...pilots from Iran??

Last night the plane re-fulled in Hartford Conn and then took the passengers
all the way back to Washington.
This morning an early flight to here was cancelled so United offered to send
the passengers to Chicago..... Say what??
Vic changed his route to Boston where he can pickup an Air Canada flight
that will get him here somewhere around 1900 hrs AST
