The following came across my Facebook feed today:

“Tower, Royal 3 we’re on a tight schedule… Can you overshoot that Cessna?”
“Negative, Royal 3 hold short runway 27”
“Royal 3”
“Royal 3, I need a read back on the hold short”
“Royal 3, holding short runway 27”“WLY, you’re cleared for touch and go runway 27”[/quote]


"Royal" is the callsign of military aircraft carrying the royal family, for those who don't know.


If I were flying WLY it would have been the longest, slowest touch and go those guys had ever seen.

I made them wait in CYLW.......

Not sure why it's a big deal to delay them.

It's not like they do much anyhow.

I would feel more guilty about delaying a
good doctor or mechanic or plumber.
