Short Final...

April 17, 2006


Proudly flying my new Lancair Columbia 350 into Tucson International, having been cleared for the visual to 11L, I heard this interchange with a regional jet:  

Tower: RJ1234 you're cleared for the visual following the Columbia on a one mile final.  

(pause)

RJ1234: ...I'm following the Space Shuttle?!!
