Short Final
This was heard the about a week ago when I was out getting night current and was returning to Mid Continent for landing. There was a regional jet that was landing ahead of me in my Mooney. Tower:“Regional jet, taxi to the gate.” Regional Jet:“Roger. To the gate.” [a long pause] Tower:“RJ, you going to the gate? I have a Mooney on short final.” Regional Jet:“Uh, yeah, we are. We’re just waiting for the skunk to clear ahead of us.” Tower:“Take your time.” James Oliphantvia e-mail

Tower:
"Regional jet, taxi to the gate."
Regional Jet:
"Roger. To the gate."

Tower:
"RJ, you going to the gate? I have a Mooney on short final."
Regional Jet:
"Uh, yeah, we are. We're just waiting for the skunk to clear ahead of us."
