Short Final…

More from our “It’s all about priorities” file … Saturday a.m. — during Round 2 March Madness in Illinois. After too much coffee and two hours of touch & goes I was on base after an extended downwind. Two regional jets were waiting for IFR clearance and for me to get out of their way. Cessna 12345: Tower, Cessna 345 on two-mile final for Runway 29. Tower: Will that be touch and go? Cessna: No, the Illinois game is about to start soon. This will be full stop. Regional Jet: Nice Priorities. Go Illini! Cessna: Well, that and I really have to pee. Tower: Roger 345. Clear to land on 29. Best of luck with both.
