Very true. Any of you that are familiar with the DFW area; there are municipal airports that litter the entire region. Get up on a nice weekend between 2500 and 5000 and you will know congestion. I'm guessing this is the case with most metropolitan areas. You will menuever for traffic no doubt about it.
