gotta love the p-3s and their abort pattern.
would have 5-6 p-3s every morning from 8-9am or so, doing aborts. turning off, and taxiing up the parallel taxiway. always annoyed the jets.
what are some of your favorite p-3 calls?
mine include "tower, VVLL23, we took off about 30 minutes ago... lost continuity on a buoy"
"tower, VVLL23 60 miles east, still talking to approach control....how many aircraft do you have in the pattern?" if the answer was 4 or more..... "roger, we would like to declare an emergency. number..... 3 engine out."
"tower VVLL23, at the hold short, need 10 minutes." WTF?
"tower, VVLL23, ready for take off."
"VVLL23, are you going to be requesting the abort option? traffic on a 6 mile final."
"Tower, 23, negative."
"VVLL23, runway 27, wind calm cleared for take off."
"roger cleared for take off."
"tower, LL23, aborting. no assistance required."
hahahaa.
