Short Final
Overheard in IFR Magazine‘s “On the Air” I was on V16 just off New York’s JFK Airport at 6,000 feet when New York departure called. Departure:“Mooney One Victor Sierra, say airspeed.” Me:“One hundred seventy-five knots.” Departure:“Bonanza Five Eight Two, say speed.” Bonanza:“One five five.” Departure:“Can you go any faster?” Bonanza:“Negative.” Departure:“Mooney One Victor Sierra, reduce speed to one five zero.” Me:“No Problem. I’ll slow it down for the Bonanza.” Unknown Voice:“Ouch. That’s gonna leave a mark.” Paul Millnervia e-mail
