And as that legend press release tells you, faa controllers are the ones in 
charge. As for the British origin plastic 2-seater fellow, maybe they were 
just glad to get him on the ground with all about him still in one piece.

I haven't flown in and camped, before, after or during, since many a year 
ago when I realized all those giant mosquito jokes weren't really jokes; 
but, if you still want to do so, and at or about departure times, isn't 
hanging out somewhere else and/or just chugging on over to plant city and 
eating a high$hamburger, while working on developing patience perhaps a 
little better than dodge ball? After all, that part of the world almost has 
wall to wall airports. JMHO

I don't know if that's a joke, or you've never flown in the 'really big
show' environment. There's a separate procedure for planes that can't
maintain 80.

Last spring I went down there with a friend in a Mooney & we spent over
an hour at Lake Parker because they wouldn't let anyone land during
heavy departures after the airshow. It was like playing dodgeball the
whole time. For about a half hour, there was one of those British origin
glass 2seaters that crossed through the existing circle of planes
several times, then when they released us to the airport, cut off
several planes entering downwind to the runway, then cut off several
more turning base/final. Any one of his actions should have cost him his
ticket for at least a month. Controllers never said a word to him.
