<---- a blank line ---->
After touching down on the grass strip next to the pavement at my local field
today, I watched a Commander sail by to my left and execute a perfect landing.
Turning my plane around to check for departing/landing traffic before crossing
the active, I noticed a C150 holding on the runway. He started his roll and
looking the other way I saw that the Commander was still on the same runway,
still not near a taxiway.
I yelled a warning over the Unicom and watched the C150 takeoff right over the
Commander. The Commander's pilot was not amused, and the following was heard
over the Unicom:
Commander: "Cessna 486, do you read Commander 10P ?"
No reply, just silence.
Nashua Unicom: "Cessna 486, do you read the unicom?"
486: "Affirmative!"
Commander: "Cessna 486, do you read the Commander now?"
486: "Negative!"
Just another reason to leave Nashua field out of your next cross country
plans ... :-)
