When I was growing up, Reading (Carl A. Spaatz Field) had the largest airshow outside Paris. Every year we had either the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds perform (back when both were flying F4's), plus a slew of aerobatic pilots. Bob Hoover use to fly his routine in his P51, then climb out and fly the same routine in his Aero Commander (Shrike?) I was 50' off the flight line the day Dick Schram (the Flying Professor) augured in. He had a great routine, and always borrowed a local Cub for his show. As I understand it, he pulled back on the backside of his loop, and the stick came clean out of the floor. The saddest thing was that his son (announcer for the Blue Angels) was announcing for dad that day. I keep hoping to make it back some year for the "new" Reading Airshow, which is a WWII reenactment, with warbirds, armor, Allied and Axis encampments, etc.

He kept his job but because he said he’d fallen asleep behind the wheel he was taken off heavy equipment permanently.

When in doubt, order a runway inspection. I'm not sure how great of an inspection a vehicle driving at a good speed in the dark (even with headlights) can actually do, but it doesn't take long, doesn't hurt, would probably catch any big/significant FOD (such as a bumper) and is a good CYA move.

News article from Dec 18, 2020. Incident was Dec 15. BERN TOWNSHIP, PA - An intoxicated Lansdale man was arrested this week after a causing a series of incidents at Reading Regional Airport which led to landings being temporarily diverted, police said. The situation began at around 2:20 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 15. Police were told that a man was rolling on the grass and jumping in front of vehicles in Bern Township, on Route 183 near the airport. The man, Lansdale's Norman J. Lee, 38, fled when police arrived, climbing over a 10-foot high barbed wire fence near Millennium Aviation, authorities said. He then climbed into an idling and unlocked snow plow that was being readied for the coming snowstorm, and sped away into a restricted section of the airport grounds, according to police. Police immediately notified air control, who diverted landings. One inbound aircraft had to make a "last minute maneuver" to avoid landing while the chase for Lee was ongoing, officials said. The truck Lee was driving became stuck in the grass as the plow was lowered, and Lee then fled on foot toward a fence at the southern end of the airport, police said. That's where officers caught up with him, describing him as "violent" and "obviously under the influence of narcotics." Lee faces counts of theft of a motor vehicle, defiant trespass, criminal mischief, and resisting arrest. After spitting in the face of a deputy while receiving medical treatment, police also charged Lee with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. Bail was set at $100,000, and Lee was booked at Berks County Jail. A preliminary hearing is forthcoming.

This kind of response isn't the result of the recent incidents in the US it's the result of attacks and threats of attacks by terror groups against the US and Europe. The US airports and homeland security are particularly paranoid since 9/11 and who can blame them.
The day they started bombing Iraq during Desert Storm I was working in the tower at KISP. That night, a Vietnam Vet who had celebrated too much managed to get into the National Guard motor pool on the airport. He started a deuce & a half that had the wheel chained so it could only make right turns and banged his way out onto the aerodrome. When the tower opened the next morning, they found him passed out in the truck which had run into the radar shack mid-field.
I went to the local airport a few weeks ago. I encountered plows and snow blowers dealing with localized unforecast lake affect snow. The airport was not NOTAMED as closed for snow removal. I decided to come back another day and fly. Things were marginal even just to fly the pattern.
@@annyer262 I bet. When I was IAD based, the snow removal plows were epic. They even had these devices to melt the plowed snow. They had it dialed in. I did my landings at KRDG in July.... 90 degrees, 98 percent humidity, clear and five miles in haze. Probably contributed to my lack of snowplow sightings.
It’s when a pilot is practicing approaches, landings and take-offs. They come in like they are going to land, touch down, then take off, as for a go-around. The B-52’s used to do that all the time at AFB’s when I was growing up - lots of noise, but I loved every minute of it❣️.
reading, not a hotbead of terrorism. - drunks yes - they'll be talking about that "terrorist " incident for years- they probably called out the county strike force- which meant it took a half hour for everyone to show up but they got the command vehicle to get on the street....
@@thetalesofdaneandco in my experience, class D controllers only issue commands like “fly south”, not “fly heading 180”. Especially for a hold, I would think they would hand them back off to approach control. That’s why I’m confused.

"Possible terrorist activity..." Jesus, how soft and stupid we have become. Terrorist activity, circa 1950: "In other news, a person acting irrationally and menacingly, was shot by 6 passersby simultaneously..." "Possible terrorist activity" circa 2021: "...then we hid in a dumpster after taking some selfies while a drunk guy stole a snowplow."
Why would it be dangerous? The one in front is a jet, which is much faster than the Piper following it. He just needed to issue them some quick and safe commands to get back to figuring out what to do about the unauthorized vehicle driving around. Plus I imagine after it was declared a possible terrorist activity they were probably nervous up in the control tower.
Great comment from a pilot "Oh boy."
Haha, the Skyhawk going "Copy that!" like he just recieved a wind check. Just another day at the office!
That's going to be more than just a simple DUI ticket!

@@ScottRothsroth0616 couldn't help myself, when i saw drunk person and snowplow i instantly thought of Canada, A.
"Possible terrorist activity..." Jesus, how soft and stupid we have become.
Terrorist activity, circa 1950: "In other news, a person acting irrationally and menacingly, was shot by 6 passersby simultaneously..."
"Possible terrorist activity" circa 2021: "...then we hid in a dumpster after taking some selfies while a drunk guy stole a snowplow."
I get it that I write ACI fanfiction but lmao
Is it safe to instruct multiple aircraft to fly and maintain 3000? Seems kinda dangerous
Why would it be dangerous? The one in front is a jet, which is much faster than the Piper following it. He just needed to issue them some quick and safe commands to get back to figuring out what to do about the unauthorized vehicle driving around.
Plus I imagine after it was declared a possible terrorist activity they were probably nervous up in the control tower.
Also the jet was told to hold west of the field the aircraft went back to the practice area to the north
oh damn, I'm here early somehow. I look down and see only 1 view😂 I must be special
Terrorist Activities is anyone not wearing a mask 2021. The term has lost all meaning.
terrorist??? choose words wisely. how bout security breech.
I am 5th view! Lol I am here very early.
Edit: Also how high does one have to be to go to an airport and steal a plow!! Lmao!
A bit drunk: a tug, more drunk: a snowplow, really drunk: a plane, completely wasted: airforce 1
- stolen snowplow on the loose.
- rest of the world = shit happens!
- USA = possible terrorist activity!
