Short Final

Often the hardest part of flying into a big Class B airport is finding your way around on the ground. After landing at Washington Dulles, I heard this exchange on the ground frequency … Hawker: “Ground, Hawker xxx, uh, we’re having some trouble finding Foxtrot” … Ground: “Hawker xxx, where are you?” … Hawker: “We’re at Zulu and Zulu 2.” … Ground: “Go south on Zulu.” … (delay) … Hawker: “Ground, Hawker xxx, sorry, but we still can’t seem to find it.” … Ground: “OK yeah, just keep going, you have another 2 miles to go.”Jonathan Wang

Often the hardest part of flying into a big Class B airport is finding your way around on the ground. After landing at Washington Dulles, I heard this exchange on the ground frequency.

Hawker: "Ground, Hawker xxx, uh, we're having some trouble finding Foxtrot"

Ground: "Hawker xxx, where are you?"

Hawker: "We're at Zulu and Zulu 2."

Ground: "Go south on Zulu."

(delay)

Hawker: "Ground, Hawker xxx, sorry, but we still can't seem to find it."

Ground: "OK yeah, just keep going, you have another two miles to go."
