> no "requirement" that pilots announce their intentions on the common frequency at uncontrolled airports, some aircraft may not even have radios

Got to love it when a Citation whose pilot is to arrogant to radio and a crop duster that doesn’t have any instruments to speak of are both in the pattern.

There have been many times I just decided to come back to the airport a bit later. Or circle well above the airport and watch the chaos below.

Having been cut off by that particular pilot once in the pattern and once when I was holding short, I’m absolutely there for everyone on CTAF absolutely tearing them apart for a straight two minutes until someone from UNICOM tells the Vietnam vets in their hangars to shut the fuck up. (Eastern Idaho. Uncontrolled.)
