Short Final: Say Parking

A while ago, I was flying into Bishop International Airport in Flint, Michigan, as a student pilot when I was cleared to land.

Bishop Tower: “Cessna 1234, cleared to land 18.”

Me: “Cessna 1234, cleared to land 18.”

Bishop Tower: “Cessna 1234, contact ground 121.9.”

Me: “Cessna 1234, contact ground 121.9.”

Me: “Ground, Cessna 1234.”

Bishop Ground: “Cessna 1234, say parking.”

Me: “Cessna 1234, parking.”

When Bishop Ground came back on line, you could hear everyone in the tower laughing.
