Short Final: Switching To Guns

4

I heard the following around my home airport:

Cessna 1234M: “Cessna N1234M, four miles northeast for landing with Echo. Full stop.”

Tower: “34M turn right base. Cleared to land 25R.”

A few moments later as the Cessna was on short final:

Tower: “34M, be aware tractor mowing between 25R and 25L.”

Cessna 1234M: “Roger. Too close for missiles. Switching to guns.”

  1. Great response by the pilot with a sense of humor. Guns on a real US fighter would be the M61A1 Vulcan. Just give the tractor the low burst of 3,000 rounds per minute.
