Short Final: ‘Out-Of-Control’ Traffic

From an IFR Magazine reader who prefers to remain anonymous:

Overheard on an ATC Center frequency near Toronto, close to rush hour for highway traffic:

ATC: "Air Canada XYZ, expect Runway 23."

Air Canada XYZ: "Roger, Runway 23 (without a pause) Aw crap!"

ATC: "Air Canada XYZ, is there a problem?"

Air Canada XYZ: "Sorry about that, no … uh yes, I just saw the traffic getting to my driveway and it’s a killer!"

ATC: (wryly) "Roger. Sounds like you need a longer driveway."
