I've wanted to take a picture of that sign for YEARS! It just so happens that today it made the perfect punch line.
I got some really good pictures though...along with some blisters because I was dumb enough to wear flip-flop sandals.

Anyways, I will post them in the pictures forum after I sort through and resize them.

Yup, and I got a picture of one of your old sparkling BE99's

jtrain609 · June 10th, 2007, 19:54

Did you know that's the highest time Beech 99 in the world at a little over 50,000 hours?

LMAO
It is funny it spells arab. Were you on the taxiway? Is there a perimeter road between you and the actual taxiway? Sometimes a control tower oversteps its bounds. Sounds like you were in a non-movement area and in the clear.
Tell them to pound sand.
Easier said than done I know.

KLB · June 11th, 2007, 10:25

Good ole VGT. I can feel the heat just looking at that picture. I'm glad I won't be flying into there anytime this summer.
