Bob Woolley 999205 Posted June 23, 2019 at 09:53 PM Posted June 23, 2019 at 09:53 PM Hamburg to watch the action. I picked a spot on the general aviation apron where I thought I would be out of the way. When I looked around there was another 172 almost in the same spot. So, I taxied a few hundred feet away and that worked out ok. However, I didn't set the parking brake and creeped across the gr[Mod - Happy Thoughts] to an active taxiway. You guessed it, I blocked a plane trying to taxi. About then, ATC tried to contact me and my mic was inoperable so I just disconnected. Reconnected after repositioning on the apron and watched the last couple planes land. Sorry to the airline that had to wait. I need to see why my mic was not working. The event looked like it was a big success. Bob Bob KVGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
