Short Final

“I was sitting on the ramp just about to fly out of Lubbock, TX, yesterday when hopping along came the biggest jackrabbit I ever saw. I thought I would advise ground control about it so they could spare some aircraft from making contact with it on the runway…” Me: Lubbock ground, um, there’s a big jackrabbit headed for the runway on TWY Romeo. [pause] Me: Uh… I thought I would tell you so the people who take care of those things could do something about it. Ground: Copy that. The coyote over there on Mike looks like he’ll take care of it.
