What's that? Hawk holding off the coast (probably on a flight plan, mind you, with intentions) for an 1100 flyby and ATC launching a departure off 24 right then. What planning would be required? This ain't rocket science...

The Fokker was lined up on 24 (Approach stated that),
then took off just as the Hawk was getting ready. I wonder if the Fokker was asked if they would hold for the Hawk to do his thing...
"I told you, unable, report sighting the Fokker". Nice.
