I suspect the pilot of one plane will be facing an unsmiling review board, and the pilot of the other needs new pants. Depending on whose fault it was. (taxiing out onto the active before clearance, taxiing onto the wrong runway, landing without clearance or or landing on the wrong runway, it depends)

There is no "clearance" - it is an uncontrolled airport where you are supposed to announce yourself and monitor a specific radio frequency.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Uncontrolled/no tower airports are extremely common.

The system works well if everybody does what they are supposed to be doing and maintains situational awareness.

Except CTAF for Northwest Regional Airport is 122.9. So using 122.8 would have no effect in this case.

What is that plane on the bottom?  An old Aeronca or Stimson maybe...?

I guess it could be a C-140 or C-170.  Doesn't quite look like a Cessna to me though.

Can you imagine when the pilots realized it became an "OH S**T!" moment.

Stinson 108 Voyager (I was wrong, not a T-craft)

Flying it just got a bit more expensive. That sucks.
