Short Final
While landing in BOI last week, we overheard this great question from a pilot: … Tower: “Cessna 123, turn left, heading 210, runway 28L; cleared for takeoff.” … Cessna: “Cleared for takeoff, Cessna 123.” … Tower: “Cessna 123, also: Turn left, heading 210.” … Cessna: “You want that after we takeoff, right?” … Tower: “Yes, that would be best.” … I could barely read back our taxi-off clearance. We and tower were laughing too hard. — Jay G.
