ORIGINAL: Tired Old Man

First, if you see a full scale, get out of the way because they are flying nearly blind in a see and avoid environment

Second, if you're the private pilot that just screwed the pooch, don't lie to the FAA and NTSB in a weak attempt to defer blame.

Third, if you have an encounter with a full scale, consider yourself at fault, for all full scale aviators are without fault. This is why they kill themselves and their passengers on such a regular basis.

Fourth, if they have smoke on they are absolutely preparing to land, even when traveling at 150+ MPH.

I always do my Downwind leg WFO 50 feet over the runway with smoke on.... doesn't everyone do this???
