Busy skies at SOCAL

[Brian Nuss 887798]

Hey Gents,

 

I wanted to tip my hat to the outstanding controllers that made last night's fly-in to southern CA possible. The frequencies were congested and sometimes, we had to wait to get a word in but overall, the event was a smashing success.

 

There were numerous controllers that were top notch but I would like to single out one particular chap, Kevin Hansen, who kept a stiff upper lip in the face of an onslaught of GA at his lonely Santa Monica airport. Kudos for a job well done and keeping the aluminum seperated!

 

 

 

Here are a few shots I took during the course of the day's flying:

 

Holding short at KSAN for departing bizjet:

 

Enroute--the TCAS is packed!

 

Mixing it up with Learjets in closed traffic at KSMO:

 

Putting the bird to bed (but someone else is just starting up )

 

Thanks again to everyone that participated.

 

I saved my last landing as a tribute to Don.
