Short Final
I was on Ground Control at KTUS Sunday, March 8, as the National Guard F-16s were out doing their usual practice. … The tower called out to one of them: “Looks like you have an empty seat there.” … The pilot in the F-16 radioed back: “Wishful thinking.” … Then a guy taking off in a Cessna 182 radioed in: “We have an empty seat in our 182.” … The tower responded: “I’ll take it.” — Paul DeHerrera
