Are we supposed to inspect every airport on Google earth before we take off? -----Original Message----- From: Rick Hole To: Q-LIST <Q-LIST@...> Sent: Mon, Sep 9, 2013 9:35 pm Subject: RE: [Q-LIST] The Offending Puddle Google Earth is
great for many things, but its imagery is not real time. Watch the
imagery date at the bottom of the window and see. You may be looking at
(whatever) the way it was months or years earlier.
Perhaps we are
looking too hard to assign fault. The runway is what it is, like the
highway that may be in perfect condition but with a blown out truck tire in
your lane. You never know when a cumulo-venison will jump across your
path. See and avoid.

Persistent standing water and seriously cracked runway is not the pilot's fault. I expect public use airports to be safe for my use, in any light plane. In this general area, I have trouble with the attitude of our society and of the legal profession. Somehow we are made responsible for things beyond our control. I expect we will continue to disagree. Mike Perry On 9/9/2013 5:33 PM, JMasal@...
