A BE35 PLT AND THREE ULT PLTS PUT ON A SAFETY DEMO HIGHLIGHTING THE VIRTUES OF A RIGHT HAND TFC PATTERN FOR ULT'S AND A LEFT HAND PATTERN FOR OTHER TFC.

Narrative

AS I CAME IN FOR MY LAST APCHS AND TURNED BASE TO FINAL AN ULT WAS AHEAD AND TO MY LEFT. THIS ULT WAS HEADED BETWEEN THE TXWY AND THE RWY; STILL AHEAD OF ME. AS I GOT DOWN TO 100 FT THIS ULT FLEW IN FRONT OF ME; ABOVE MY POS. I SAW HIM PITCH UP; AS IF GOING AROUND; AND I LANDED UNDER HIM AND SLIGHTLY TO HIS RIGHT. THE UNINVITED ULT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE ONE OF OURS AND I THOUGHT IT WAS AS I TURNED FINAL. ALL ULTS LANDED SAFELY; AS DID I AND THE DEMO WAS OVER. I WAS LOW AND SLOW AND LANDED INSPITE OF THIS ULT AHEAD OF ME. I LOOKED FOR HIM LATER BUT COULDN'T FIND HIM. I THOUGHT IT WAS CARELESS AND RECKLESS FOR THE OPPOSITION TO DO THIS; KNOWING THAT THEY WERE NOT BRIEFED. I DID NOT KNOW TILL THE END THAT THIS PLT WAS IN OUR PATTERN. I NEVER HEARD ANY TRANSMISSION FROM ANY PLTS WHO WERE NOT IN OUR DEMO; EXCEPT FOR OTHER TFC; SOMEPLACE ELSE. OUR PURPOSE WAS TO SHOW HOW SAFE THE RIGHT PATTERN WAS VS THE LEFT SINCE ULTS AND OTHER TFC WOULD NOT MIX; IN THE RIGHT PATTERN. SINCE EVERYONE FOLLOWED THE RULES THERE WERE NO INJURIES.
