Overheard while waiting for takeoff on Runway 29 at Oakland California:
Airliner 123: Airliner 123, waiting in sequence.
Oakland Tower: A little too much information, 123 … but I’ll bet you look adorable in sequins.
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- An airliner pilot, "Airliner 123," reported "waiting in sequence" to Oakland Tower.
- The air traffic controller at Oakland Tower found the "in sequence" detail to be unnecessary information.
- The controller then made a humorous pun, telling the pilot they "bet you look adorable in sequins."
