What Are The Services Provided By Local Cab Companies

It is not always pleasurable driving your own car. Especially, when you are driving back from your workplace or going for a weekend trip. After a tiring day, nobody feels like facing the traffic or driving a long distance back home. Similarly when you are going out for other purposes like a holiday trip you will want to relax and enjoy the sightseeing rather than taking control of the wheels. However the solution can be hiring taxi service available in the streets of Texas. They can only give you comfort just like your own car.

Let’s know what service they are famous for.

Airport service: You cannot deny that when you have a flight to catch, you suffer from stress and anxiety. This is very common and you are not the only person. First of all, in stress you should never take the risk of driving your own car. Though, it is not a fruitful option because you have to pay a good amount for parking. With each day the charge will increase. Second there will be possibilities of missing flight as you may not know about the shortest route. Will it be happening if you miss your flight? If not, then look for local cabs near me and book one in advance for airport transport. When you hire the service from Texas Yellow Cab & Checker Taxi Service you do not have to fear missing flight.

Corporate service: For corporate travels you can trust the yellow cab service providers. Experienced chauffeurs will be there to pick up and take you to the destination without being late. The drivers are well aware of the city routes and so will be able to avoid traffic infested roads that can cause delay in journey. You can hire cabs for attending corporate parties and even to pick your clients from the DFW airport. The Texas Yellow Cab & Checker Taxi Service will take care of your requirements; feel free to take their service in need.

Private reasons: Other than these two purposes you can hire local taxis nearby if you are planning for an outing with friends or family. They have a variety of vehicles and customers can book any of them as per their need. Whether you are going shopping or dropping your kids at school, book a cab by sending a mail at contact@bigtexascabs.com or Call/Whatsapp/Viber/Telegram @8176763702.

As now you know that yellow cabs are available for various purposes, hire them and avoid driving your own car.

I seem to have misplaced planet Earth

My wife, undoubtedly, would choose our honeymoon encounter with ice; my mother the complete electrical failure we experienced while on an IFR flight in very IFR conditions; for those who have heard a few of my hangar-flying stories, it might be the time I almost became a bug splat on the windshield of an F-4; but for me, my scariest time in an airplane was the time I was late to the party in figuring out what the airplane was doing.

After DFW Airport opened in 1973, I started using Dallas Love Field. It was convenient, had a great FBO, and with parallel runways (both of which had ILS approaches), traffic seemed to flow in and out of Love Field much better than it did at Addison, which, prior to DFW’s opening, had been my Dallas-area airport of choice.

Though it was never my home-base, by the late 1970s I’d flown in and out of Love Field so many times that it might as well have been. I normally approached DAL from the north, and on VFR nights, when I didn’t hear much traffic on Addison’s tower frequency, I’d usually ask Addison for permission to transition their Airport Traffic Area as I headed due south for Love. Approach typically wouldn’t coordinate with Addison for an overflight, so I either handled that task myself, or I just stayed a little to the east of US 75, talked to approach, and waited for them to send me over to Love Field Tower as I passed over Texas Instruments at the intersection of LBJ and US 75.

The Cessna 310 is a great performer, but you have to obey some speeds on final.

On this particular clear and forever night, I was using the “Addison Transition” approach. Addison cut me loose as I passed over their midfield, and that’s when I switched to Love Field Tower, told them that I’d been talking to Addison Tower (don’t freak out; Addison knows about me), and that I had the ATIS information.

The tower then told me to make a straight in for 18.

18?

Who in the history of Love Field has ever landed on 18?

I didn’t want 18! The FBO I was heading for was on the airport’s southeast ramp. The phraseology I wanted to hear from Love Field Tower was “Enter left base for 13L” or “Enter right downwind for 31R.” Who in the world had ever heard, “Make a straight in for 18,” from Love Field Tower?

I was in a 1958 Cessna 310B, indicating 180 MPH, which was the speed limit at the time for piston-powered airplanes in Airport Traffic Areas, and for speed control purposes I was counting on a downwind to 31R, or a crisp turn to base for 13L, either of which would allow me to slow to my 15-degree flap and landing light extension speed (160 MPH indicated), which would then quickly get me down to this plane’s VLE and VFE of 140 MPH indicated.

I was about to make the request for 13L when the tower told me that I was number two for 18, following a 210.

Oh, okay, I’ll be nice to the controller and not make him figure out a crossing runway situation. I ought to be able to follow the 210. Where is he? Oh, there he is, about 3 miles ahead of me.

A few S-turns got me slowed to 160 MPH indicated, and from there, with 15 degrees of split flaps and those big under-wing landing lights now grabbing gobs of air, I was soon down to 140.

How fast is that 210?

I’d never flown a 210, but I guessed that he’d be indicating at least 100 MPH. My personal minimum until short final for this 310 was 120 MPH indicated. That’s what I reduced to. It’s hard to judge distance when all you have to look at is a white tail light and a red rotating beacon, but I thought things were going to work.

Well, maybe.

I really didn’t want to deal with all of the taxiing that it would take to get me from a normal landing’s rollout on 18 back to the FBO, and I was gaining on the 210. How about this: fudge on my 120 MPH indicated minimum and reduce to 100, and then plan on touching down on the numbers and making the turn off for 13L? The 310 was light and would have a low stall speed, and I was high on the approach so I wouldn’t be asking much from the engines from here on out. This ought to work! I started rolling in the extra nose-up trim for a 100 MPH approach speed.

The 210 crossed the threshold with me still more than a mile from the runway. Things were looking good. The 210 just needed to turn off or make it 4500 feet down the runway and everything would be fine and dandy.

Can this work?

The 210 landed fairly long, but when I saw him turning towards the terminal that was to his left I knew I had it made. I gently pulled off the little bit of power that I was still carrying, rolled in a little more nose up trim, and I was ready for a slow touchdown a few feet before the numbers. Power off. Start the flare. Almost ready to touch down… and that’s when the 210 darted back to his right, back onto the runway.

I had plenty of room to land and stop before I got to the 210, but rules being rules, the tower told me to go around. I shoved the throttles forward. “Pitch, Power, Flaps, Climb, Gear” was my mantra for engine failures and go arounds, but I was so slow when I was instructed to go around that power had to be the first thing applied. By the time I got back to pitch, it seemed that decades had passed. Where was I? Who was flying the airplane? What happened to planet earth?

Oh sure, in real time maybe only a second or two had passed, but the airspeed indicator, once I got around to looking at it, was showing 80; there was nothing but black out the windshield; and the attitude indicator was showing a crazily high nose-up attitude. The throttle, prop, and mixture levers were balls to the wall; one cough from either engine and I’d be making a corkscrew hole in the ground.

The 310 was notorious for pitching up vigorously with the first 15 degrees of flap extension. You learned to deal with this during day VFR practice flights, and with enough exposure to this “feature,” coping with it was automatic. The 310, especially with its big tuna tip tanks filled to the brim, would wallow down final for the novice pilot, but experience, again, seemed to make that problem also disappear.

I had certainly made, and practiced, many go arounds in the 310, but apparently I’d never practiced a go around from such a slow speed, so close to the ground, and with the airplane trimmed for such slow flight. The pitch up was spectacular! At night, with no moon, and being over a very dimly lit Love Field, was the perfect place NOT to experience this for the first time.

This was my scariest flight because it wasn’t a failure in weather forecasting, or a failure of equipment, or a failure of air traffic control; it was a failure of me.

Runway 18 no longer exists at Love Field. I captured a 2004 archived image from Google Earth Pro (above) to show an approximation of what it looked like in 1978 when my memorable go around happened. I drew a yellow measurement line from the displaced threshold (it wasn’t displaced in 1978) to the intersection of 13L to show how much space there was. In calm, day VFR conditions, with the tower’s approval and an assurance that a go around wouldn’t be necessary, a 310 could make the turnoff for 13L.

But unless the wind was absolutely howling out of the south, who’d want to use 18? After the go around that night, I landed on 13L. As it would turn out, I never did take off or land on 18/36 at Love Field… I also never again deviated from my personal 120 MPH minimum approach speed in the 310.

Colorado 2018

I started working back in July of 2017 with a goal to save up enough money to travel. I worked hard and saved money. After months of going to school while working, my coworker and I talked about traveling somewhere, and we were both interested in Colorado. Just a few weeks before spring break, we started planning that trip.

After my coworker assured me she was all in to go, we started researching and planning everything. The destination we decided to go to was a town in Northern Colorado called Estes Park. This town caught my attention for 2 main reasons: Rocky Mountain National Park and The Stanley Hotel. If you don’t know by now, Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) is an amazing park and was referenced in that John Denver song, and The Stanley Hotel is where Stephen King stayed, which inspired his book, The Shining. I was so excited to see these attractions that I made sure the whole trip went well. Keeping a budget in mind, I found the best flights, hotels, and activities to do. When everything was planned, we talked over our work schedules with our boss. We knew we couldn’t take off a whole lot of time from work, so we went with 3 days. It wasn’t a lot of days, but we were happy with that and ready to kick off our spring break.

Suddenly, weeks before the trip turned into a day before the trip. Then, the night before our early flight came. We had everything packed in each of our own backpacks. We arrived at the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Airport 2 hours prior our flight departure. Just printing our boarding passes, going through security, and waiting at our gate was exciting. I was happy that we were following through with our plans and traveling to a different state. Once we boarded our flight and departed, we said goodbye to the sun rising over Dallas.

After the 2 hour flight, we landed in Denver, Colorado. The Denver International Airport was a very impressive and huge airport. We were supposed to wait for an hour until our shuttle bus came to pick us up and take us to Estes Park. Luckily, the driver called right when we got to the airport and said he was ready to pick us up early because we were the only ones scheduled on that morning ride. As we drove out the airport and away from Denver, we instantly saw mountains in the distance. I was becoming even more excited and couldn’t believe we made it and were close to our destination. After about an hour and a half, we were just entering Estes Park and were in awe of a brand new scenery of snow, mountains, and hills.

We were dropped off at our lodge, which was near town and RMNP. It was a very cozy and decent lodge. We walked out to our balcony and had a view of the street filled with trees and a lake running through below us. We didn’t want to waste time, so we immediately ordered a taxi to The Stanley Hotel to have lunch and tour the hotel. The hotel looked just like how I had imagined it. We walked through the quiet hallways and it felt very spooky. 

Afterwards, we decided to walk to town and look for lunch there. Not too far a walk away, we were introduced to a very cute little town with souvenir shops and restaurants. We had a relaxing lunch with a beautiful view. After lunch, we walked through some shops. 

Some ladies working there suggested we hike to Gem Lake. We took their suggestion, ordered a taxi there, and started hiking. We were told it was a short hike, but it took us a very, very long time to get to Gem Lake. We accidentally went on a longer trail and the elevation was kicking us in the butt. We did, however, make it to the top. The Lake was frozen and it became very cold and windy up there. It felt amazing, though. Since we weren’t there during peak season, it was very calming because there was no one there except a couple. They were very friendly and took our picture. It was getting super cold, so we headed back down. We started to rush because the sun was setting soon. I went too fast and slipped on an icy rock. My knee was bleeding and the blood was bright red in the snow. We were finally out of the trail, but our taxi wasn’t answering and we had no other transportation. We began to worry, until that couple we met at the top came out. They offered us a ride back to our place, and were glad to accept it. They truly seemed like nice folks, so we weren’t worried that we’d be in danger. Later that night, we were exhausted and went to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up early right before sunrise. I sat outside on the balcony, eating breakfast. Our plans for the next day were to go to RMNP. It was one of the main reasons why we came here. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out, but there was still much to do. We walked to a trail near the town that was high up. At the top, there were views of the whole town and a some ruins. We saw a view of The Stanley Hotel, too. We had some snacks and enjoyed our time up there. We grabbed some lunch nearby, which also had a beautiful view. We walked through some more shops, looking for souvenirs. On our way back to the lodge, we saw a small park. We walked through the gates and  the ground was covered with snow. There were huge steps in the snow, like a bear’s footprint. Then, we walked back to our lodge and took a nap. We woke up hungry and walked to a restaurant nearby. After getting back, we decided to take advantage of our lodge’s hot tub. It was very cold out, but being inside the hot tub felt very relaxing.

On our last day, we wanted to watch the sunrise at the trail that with views of the whole town. So, we woke up in the morning, when it was still dark, and started walking to that trail. It was pitch dark, but we had flashlights on us. As we were walking, we were caught off guard by an animal running just to the left side of me, as if it was chasing us. We instantly stopped and turned off our flashlights. I whispered to my coworker to not move at all. We waited and slowly moved to the opposite side of the road. Then, we heard it growling and I swore it was coming right at us. I was shaken and felt like this was how we were going to get severely hurt or die. We saw a car coming and stood in the middle of the road trying to get its attention. We were desperate for any help, but it drove around us, leaving us alone in the dark. I saw a house just off the road and whispered to my coworker to walk towards it. We slowly moved, but my steps were loud from the gravel on the ground. When we made it to the house, we waited on the steps on the porch in the cold until the sun rose. I was afraid something would come out and attack us, but we were safe. We walked back to our hotel lodge and decided to stay there until our shuttle came to take us back to Denver. As we left Estes Park, we saw our last glances of the beautiful town. After an hour and a half drive, we were dropped off at the Denver International Airport. We got some food then ordered a lyft to the Denver Aquarium. The 30 minute drive downtown seemed long as we noticed how different it looked from Estes Park. After the aquarium, we walked around 16th Street Mall with our heavy backpacks and sweaters in hand. As the afternoon was coming to an end, we decided to head back to the airport a little early for our flight back to Dallas. For some reason, we almost forgot to go through security. We had enough time, though and waited at our gate to board our flight. This time, we had bigger seats together at the front of the plane. It was the same airline, too.

We were sad to leave Colorado and have to get back to work the next day, but it was a successful adventure. I’m grateful to have been able to go with my best friend and have everything go right plans-wise. Besides the bear scare, it was very safe and fun to be able to travel outside of our home state on our own.
