Potomac is a privately-owned public-use general aviation airport whose owner has a sense of humor. Nothing more than that.

You'ld be surprised. Most operators will go right to the legal limits. The prevailing attitude is if it's legal, it's ok. The companies are ok with that because they know the real legal liability falls on the pilot to accept or reject it in real time. The airline will probably not be faulted and th...
