Short Final…

While doing some work, heard the following exchange on Kennedy Tower freq: Twr: Cactus 51, turn right zulu and golf, hold behind the plane that’s stopped to recycle. Cactus 51: Cactus 51 we’ll make the right zulu and golf, behind the recycled airplane … whatever that means. Trw: C’mon Cactus, you guys should know what that means, you fly Airbus’ — it’s when the screens go blank and you have to restart them all. Cactus 51: Oh, yeah, we know about that. We just thought it was ’cause we were out of quarters.

Cactus 51: Cactus 51 we'll make the right zulu and golf, behind the recycled airplane ... whatever that means.

Trw: C'mon Cactus, you guys should know what that means, you fly Airbus' -- it's when the screens go blank and you have to restart them all.

Cactus 51: Oh, yeah, we know about that. We just thought it was 'cause we were out of quarters.
