Approach and landing at Republic Airport KFRG on Sunday October 23rd 2011. VERY busy Air traffic controller ,lots of arrivals and lots of departures from the class delta Airport , its usually like this on a Sunday when the weather is nice , $100 hamburger Pilots returning home and lots of studnet training in the pattern , Makes for some intresting flying .I had to break off the final approach to runway 19 to facilitate a Cessna 172 who missed the turn onto final .
Scarry traffic warning at 05:18. My biggest respect to the controller.

That was insane! My hat's off to you for keeping such good situational awareness.

I'm so glad I did all my primary training at KFRG with that type of ATC environment. I've never been nervous from a busy frequency and it's all because of learning how do deal with it from the beginning. However, I'm also so glad that I don't have to fly out of there everyday anymore!! There were one or two times I had to "remain clear" coming back to KBDR, but it's never THAT crazy!!
