WW2 B25 FLC QUESTION BWI ATC SVCS AND CTLR ATTITUDE WHEN TRANSITING BWI AIRSPACE.

Narrative

JUST DEPARTED AN AIRSHOW. OUR ACFT WAS A WW2 BOMBER WHICH REQUIRED 2 RATED PLTS; I WAS PIC. WE RECEIVED CLRNC INTO THE BWI CLASS B AIRSPACE AND WERE PROCEEDING VFR DIRECT BWI; AS PER THE CTLR AT OUR ASSIGNED ALT OF 2000 FT. WE WERE HANDED OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES; SEEMS NONE OF THE CTLRS REALLY WANTED TO HANDLE OUR VFR FLT FOLLOWING REQUEST. THE FLT WAS A 35-MIN FLT TO GED. NOT LONG AFTER ENTERING THE CLASS B AIRSPACE; WE WERE DIRECTED TO PROCEED DIRECT TIPTON AFB. THIS IS A NORMAL DIVERSION WHEN OPERATING IN THE BALTIMORE AREA AS IT PUTS VFR TFC S OF THE APCHS/DEPS TO BWI'S RWY 15/33. THE VISIBILITY WAS GREAT AND BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA; I HEADED FOR TIPTON VISUALLY. THE COPLT SWAPPED SEATS WITH ANOTHER COPLT. I ASSUMED NAV DUTIES AS WELL AS TAKING CARE OF THE COMS. I ASKED THE CTLR IF OUR CURRENT HDG WOULD KEEP US CLR OF THE DCA TFR AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD. OUR CTLR HAD A RATHER SOFT VOICE. CTLR MUST HAVE BEEN NEW GIVING OTHER ACFT WHAT SOMETIMES SEEMED EXCESSIVE (SOME GREATER THAN 90 DEG TURNS). WHEN WE WERE APPROX 3 MI OUT OF TIPTON; A DIFFERENT CTLR CALLED US AND STERNLY TOLD US TO TURN R TO 100 DEGS; THAT WE WERE GETTING TOO CLOSE TO HIS INBOUND TFC. WHILE COMPLYING; I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN AT HIS VECTORING ME TOWARD THE TFR. HE PROCEEDED TO 'READ ME THE RIOT ACT' AND TO LET HIM WORRY ABOUT THE TFR; AND ON AND ON. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL ON THE PART OF THE CTLR. THE COPLT AND I DISCUSSED IT AND NEVER DID FIGURE OUT WHAT ALL OF THE FUSS WAS ABOUT. AFTER ALL; WE WERE IN FACT HEADING TO TIPTON WHICH WAS WHERE WE WERE TOLD TO GO. WE WERE SOON GIVEN SEVERAL MORE VECTORS; GROSS HDG CHANGES; BY WHAT I NOW WAS CERTAIN WAS THE FIRST CTLR. AFTER AN ETERNITY; WE WERE PASSED OFF TO ANOTHER CTLR. IT IS DISGUSTING TO SEE THIS UNPROFESSIONAL DISPLAY BY A CTLR. IT'S NO WONDER THAT MOST VFR TFC AVOID AIRSPACE THAT REQUIRES DEALING WITH ATC CTLRS. I REALIZE THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CTLRS ARE COURTEOUS; BUT IT ONLY TAKES A FEW TO MAKE EVERYBODY LOOK BAD. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR THOUGHT ABOUT CALLING THE FACILITY MGR; BUT DECIDED TO CHALK IT UP TO 'A BAD CTLR DAY.'
