San Marcos, Texas (KHYI) was busier than normal this recent November weekend due to Formula 1 racing in Austin when the following exchange was overheard:
KHYI Tower:
“Mooney 1234N, cleared for take-off, Runway 13.”
Mooney 1234N:
Tower, Mooney 1234N. Can I land first?
KHYI Tower:
Mooney 1234N, cleared to land.
