   |  Interesting Notams I just got the strangest NOTAM I've ever had today. Though I am in North Dakota so I guess I should expect things like this. "8ft high corn 30ft south of the runway" anybody got anything else good? |

| Re: Interesting Notams I flew into Chatanooga one day, and picked up the ATIS and almost lost control of the aircraft laughing. "Notices to Airmen, men and equipment adjacent to runway 2/20 - trucks 'n' cranes 'n' thangs...." Welcome to Tennessee!!  |

| Re: Interesting Notams [ QUOTE ] I just got the strangest NOTAM I've ever had today. Though I am in North Dakota so I guess I should expect things like this. "8ft high corn 30ft south of the runway" anybody got anything else good? [/ QUOTE ] That IS an odd notam, but in a way I can understand the intent. Last year, our little uncontrolled field had high corn (during the corn season) close to the runway near the west end. A buddy of mine was landing an Aztec when a deer ran out of the corn right in front of him - he had no time to react. The result was damage to the wing and flap and a dead deer on the runway. The corn area has since been cut back to make a buffer zone... |

| Re: Interesting Notams There is an inept controller at ASH and she often puts this on the ATIS: "Migratory waterfowl on or about the airport proper." |

| Re: Interesting Notams This is from one of my flight cards as I wrote it down from the ATIS one night when returning..... "200 FEW, 600 OVC, visibility 4, winds 360/7, altimeter 1012.8, PAR approach in use, landing runways 32 and 33. Caution firefight in progress on south and east perimeter fences. Automatic weapons fire and light triple-A reported on 3 mile final by a C-7, multiple parachute flares on 1 mile final. Landing at own risk. Advise on initial contact you have Yankee." Upon contact with the PAR controller, he told me that if I don't receive a transmission from him for more than 10 seconds, to execute published missed and contact tower, since it's likely that the mortars hit their mark. |

| Re: Interesting Notams We had an ATIS at a local airport yesterday that ended like this: "Advise on initial contact you have Charlie. I am the controller and I approve of this message." |
