Many years ago while flying into MFR (Medford, OR) as a newly minted pilot from a non-controlled airport I was nervous to say the least.I got a right downwind entry clearance but I absentmindedly entered an extended left downwind.
Tower: “Experimental 123xy, okay left downwind will work just fine too, and cleared for left base to landing.”
Needless to say I felt as low and stupid as could be, and responded with much apologies to an unusually friendly controller.
