Is it the same flight school that lost a plane and 2 people about 2 months ago from the forced landing at night?

It definitely gets a little busy out there sometimes, which is why you always have to clear the area very well for traffic. Still, there are a lot of times when you see somebody doing something stupid. |
That's funny you say that. Those were my exact thoughts. It's hard to keep track of someone who is about to do a spin when you are stuck hearing Chuck talking to Frank about the 5.0 Mustang and how she is running.
There have been many times when I have just left to go play around in the pattern because there are so many people in the practice area. Not to long ago I heard 2 planes doing turns about a point off of the tower at the end of Loxahatchee Rd. They were doing them what seemed to be 500ft higher than one another. I was just waiting for disaster to happen.
I always try to get in touch with PMP tower as early as possible when heading back so I can at least be on someone's radar.
