Come visit Caldwell KEUL during nice weather for a full display of normalized deviance. A fixed wing pattern full of training aircraft and the one full length taxiway operating as another runway 400’ centerline to centerline. Airplanes and helicopters jockey for use of the taxiway. All that isn’t interesting enough, so add some jumpers to the mix.
Pilot reactions vary:
- I’ll never come here again
- I’m invincible, a collision won’t happen to me
- resignation, nothing will change until someone dies
- anti-authority, it’s a uncontrolled airport. I’ll fly how I want. We don’t need no freaking tower.
