Default Re: Paging MNIXON!!!

Hahahahahahahaha. That rocks!!! I didn't know approach told you to let him know you had him in sight!!


Okay, for those wondering what this is all about...the story behind this little clip and what to listen for.

Last night going into MDW, it was me following a SWA, then our Lear behind me, and good ole mnixon in Starcheck 361 following. Well, the Lear passed 361 up going into the airport, and everybody was going to tower.

A little background...the controller that works the tower is known for being grumpy and none of us have ever heard him say anything but standard phraseology, etc. He's always a professional, just always sounds like he's in a bad mood.

Well, as 361 checks on with tower, and reports the Lear in sight, the controller comes back with something to the effect of "he should be in parking by the time you land, clear to land." Then to top it off, at the end he tells 361 that he thought he'd have to slow him down, to add insult to injury.

Ahhh, the joys of flying a Caravan. Especially in Midway, and Chi-town's airspace!!



It's a shame they didn't record our company freq during this!!! It's a good thing 99% of the time, but this would have added to the quality.
