I heard some RC3 chatter about Hawkins field over in Jackson Mississippi. Sounded like y'all are pretty familiar with the area. I believe I heard the controller say he learned to fly over there.Pretty cool. I fly out of Vicksburg, Mississippi just a few miles west of Jackson. I fly practice approaches into Hawkins quite frequently.

Lets see, from memory (I'm at work) I think one of the exchanges goes something like this:"When you see Henry Aldridge tell him Mike Martin said hello""Mike I'll do that, I know Henry real well, he's a good friend of mine. He had a lot of training in these old Cougars..""I know, he taught me to fly in one..""""Mike, can I run up right here?.." Nah, I haven't been using radar contact long.. :-roll :-lol :-lolMike CollierDispatcherSystem Operations ControlAmerica West Airlines
