Turnaround Deemed Success
By ANN Editor Pete Combs
About 15 years ago, when I was a nervous junior birdman vying
for his IFR ticket, I flew from Addison Airport in Dallas (TX) to
Redbird Airport on the south side of town. I made every single
mistake I could possibly make, until the grizzled old flight
examiner sitting in the right seat said, "Either you're too lost or
I'm too scared. Let's turn this thing around."
My memories of what is now Dallas Executive Airport weren't
terribly fond -- not that the airport was at fault. Still, it was a
little... well, seedy.
Not any more.
