Short Final...

May 1, 2006


Oh, the years gone by...

Many years ago when I was a student pilot flying a C-120, (if you can remember when flight schools used C-120s, you may be older than I am), I groundlooped in front of the tower at BFI. Here's the exchange, as I remember it:

Tower: Cessna triple 7, are you experiencing difficulties?

Me: No.

(pause)

...not now that I've got the sonofa**** stopped.

Tower: [Through laughter] Triple seven, taxi to the ramp.
