flyerme Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 While eating my breaky 15 mins ago I heard what I thought was next doors loader back out extending my runway. awesome,quickly finished, then hobbled out to witness what I think? was a Kitfox?didn't get any numbers as I was surprised to see it climbing from my strip? It was all yellow with a red round cowling like a radial on the front.I waved and flapped but he/she/they didn't seem to see me... anyone know who it was? I was really disappointed they didn,t stop.pot was hot,could have had a cuppa and chat..I have a very good idea it was on the ground so not sure why they didn,t wait a little although the weather is deteriorating..really spewin it didn't stop,any one know whome it could have been? anyone on here? My wife in formed me that when Thirsty and I were fying home the local store counted 4 planes circle the strip in a 3 hr span.. Also get a lot of G.A traffic from the nrth/wst,they come over to a 180 around the property then head off.. I want to let every one Know the frequency here used is 126.7 If you fly out here I ask if you can use this frequency in the area,just for good "airmanship" practice.keep it under 10.000ft as the frequency is 125.?...Thank you and hope to see you here for a yak,,any ifo on the yellow plane much appreciated,,,
