I worked the "tower" at the local airport a time or 2 when I was a kid...I was in the "Control room" when somebody called in wanting to know what runway was active, & was there anybody on final approach...The lady who normally did that was in the can, so I told the guy no reported traffic & they were using Two-Three that day.....Imogene got out of the "Boudoire'", I told her what I'd done, she said I shouldn't have done that, & then kinda laughed/grinned at me, & that was that...Oh, yeah, I think the guy bought me a Coke, & made me help him pull his plane over to the gas pump...Whoop-Dee-do.

You know, as in keep doin' what yer doin'. The Right Wing will seize on absolutely anything to wound their opponents.

At our local airport, they'd of had you out there chasing the cows off of the runway.

And the "loo" is behind a tree.

Lighten up, the kid (with Dad's instruction) was only clearing planes to taxi to the takeoff area where they are taken over by the controller who clears them for takeoff.

Biggest bunch of crap I've heard all day.

But its still early. They can still dig up something lamer to obsess over.
