August 22, 20205 yr How's Duluth scenery? Did they get the crazy glide slope going into 27? Lol Everytime I fly in, I always wonder if your on position in the tower or on radar. Stay safe brotha!

Actually you wouldn't hear me as of Nov 2019. I transferred to FCM.

This stuff seems to change daily. There is no training in the FAA right now.... but it is supposed to open up soon-ish. Oops and I mean late 2018....time flies when you're working a bunch of GA pilots...
