Short Final: Bed Bugs

En route to Leesburg Executive around 1:00 a.m. inside Dulles Class Bravo, I heard a controller ask a United flight, United XXX your choice 19R or 19C. The pilot came back with 19C and once cleared for the visual he responded, Cleared for visual. 19C United XXX. Over to tower, nighty-night dont let the bed bugs bite!
