Should have got on the radio to the tower, and told them you had a tailgater.. flash your brakelights a few times then give them the finger right before take off

Yeah, just let me get past being a probee and I'll do it. No flight privlages yet. give me another month.


Yesterday, I got the chance to park between two CO753. It still amazes me that that thing can fly.
