I was on Ground Control at KTUS Sunday, March 8, as the National Guard F-16s were out doing their usual practice.
The tower called out to one of them:
“Looks like you have an empty seat there.”
The pilot in the F-16 radioed back:
“Wishful thinking.”
Then a guy taking off in a Cessna 182 radioed in:
“We have an empty seat in our 182.”
The tower responded:
“I’ll take it.”
