Overheard enroute from RMG to 45J…
Pilot: Approach, Skylane N###, Could I have a right turn direct mydestination?
Approach: Standby. I’ll check to see if that Dash 8 doing 200 knots up your five-o’clock feels like wearing you on his lapel…
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- A pilot requested a direct turn to their destination while en route.
- Air Traffic Control (ATC) denied the request due to the presence of conflicting, fast-moving air traffic.
- ATC's response was humorously sarcastic, highlighting the significant danger of a mid-air collision if the turn were approved.
