Short Final
Tower: Katana ###F you are number two for landing following a Piper Warrior. Katana ###F (a student … me): Number two following a Warrior that I am looking for. Tower: The Warrior is on left downwind at about 2 oclock. Katana ###F: I have the traffic in sight, Katana ###F. (Few moments pass) Katana ###F: Santa Rosa Tower, Katana ###F does not have the traffic in sight. What I saw was a bird. Tower: (Laughter from the tower) Katana ###F, continue downwind. I’ll call your turn to base.
