I could have been on my way to Hartford CT Bradley airport which i had never been to...
i had no maps , no GPS , so i was in a real quagmire with absolutely nothing open ...no one to ask...

so i have to blame (chide) myself for leaving the maps in the other car
and not having appropriate technology to find it on my own.
You might want to rethink your response to GattaFish, as he may know a little more about airplanes and flying than you, considering he's a pilot. Also, how can you know for sure that they were not going to attempt another landing at TFG if the weather improved?

As for not having a gps, maybe you could have borrowed one from your bank?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
