Jonathan Devine 1074915 Posted June 24, 2011 at 09:26 PM Posted June 24, 2011 at 09:26 PM This happened 10 minutes ago while I was controlling Potomac Approach: AF1: Washington approach, airforce one holding short runway 1 right, ready to go. DCA_APP: Airforce One, it appears you are at 19 left. Confirm you are taxiing to 1 right. AF1: Washington approach, I am holding at the other end of 1 right, ready to go.

I'm pretty sure I heard this guy check in on freq with IAD_APP when you logged off. His check in alluded to what you were talking about, which was pretty sad.

Dan Everette Posted June 25, 2011 at 06:17 PM Posted June 25, 2011 at 06:17 PM Kinda funny (sad?) when RW pilots start acting like VATSIM pilot wannabees.... Flying back to CPK (RW) a couple years ago in a twin, was IFR and in the wonderful summertime afternoon convective "presents" by mother nature and was rapidly approaching task saturation as I was by myself. Norfolk Approach terminated me and my response was: "Roger, over to advisory, we'll call you on the ground to cancel, thanks for the ATC" When I called the tower on the phone to cancel, he said "you're welcome for the ATC". -Dan Everette CFI, CFII, MEI Having the runway in sight just at TDZE + 100 is like Mom, Warm cookies and milk, and Christmas morning, all wrapped into one.
