Short Final

Overheard in IFR Magazine‘s “On the Air” Heard over Oklahoma City approach frequency on a busy day: Approach:“American One Twenty-Three, descend pilot’s discretion. Maintain 6,000.” American 123 [after a long pause] :“Oak City, American One Twenty-Three. Did you call us?” Approach:“American One Twenty-Three, descend pilot’s discretion. Maintain 6,000.” American 123:“Say again.” Approach [getting a bit hot] :“American One Twenty-Three: Descend – and maintain – 6,000. Pilot’s discretion, co-pilot’s discretion – it really doesn’t matter to me!” Geno LutherJoshua, Texas
