Short Final

Approaching my home airport with easterly winds, runway 7 is usually available: Me:“Tower, Cirrus 504PG, 10 miles west. Request 7.” Tower:“Cirrus 504PG, report midfield, downwind, 7.” Me:“Uhh – Cirrus 504PG is 10 miles west, inbound for 7.” Tower (realizing the mistake) :“Let me turn my monitor around. O.K., Cirrus 504PG, report three-mile final for 7.” Brian Litchvia e-mail
