While in the pattern at Islip, New York, during a quiet time, we’d performed about 20 touch-and-goes, each time receiving a bland “cleared for touch-and-go” from the tower. Eventually, a Southwest Boeing 737 called the tower inbound:
Southwest:
“Tower, Southwest Fourteen Thirty-One.”
Tower:
“Southwest Fourteen Thirty-One, cleared for touch-and-go.”
Southwest (in a heavy Texas drawl) :
“We’ll just make this one a full stop if you don’t mind.”
