It just seems to me no one listens. When I am flying my airplanes I can "hear" a FS aircraft before it comes into view. I even hear them when I fly my gas and tuned pipe models. If I hear it before the spotters or other people I am flying with. "Where is the FS I hear?" That tells everybody there is a FS in the area. Then the non flying people at that moment can find its location. They can then let me know if the FS is flying over at a high altitude or lining up on the runway to land. In the meantime I drop to low altitude and get in the landing pattern in case I need to land quick.

I don't know maybe I am smarter than many and have more awareness of what is going on around me when I fly. All I know awareness and being safety minded events like these can be prevented. We have never had a helicopter sneak up on us either. We could hear it coming. A hospital is less than two miles away with a helo pad. So we are "aware" of that possibility.

"Awareness" and "listening" and "Paying attention" to what goes on around you can prevent many problems. When flying near a FS runway you HAVE to pay attention. That is fact.

If your "tunnel vision" is that bad you can't listen when you are flying. Then don't fly at a FS airport you are a danger to yourself and others.

The other day we were flying at a field that is NO WHERE near an airport. However A-10's from a base 100 miles away will do "terrain following excercises" and we know they are low becasue we have seen them before. I heard them coming and landed before they arrived. One of the three flew right over our runway wagging his wings. He knew we were there. He had probably had my plane on his radar until I dropped back below the tree line before he got to our location. My plane was safely on the runway when it flew over.
