A small GA airport in FL, USA has a great ex-AF controller...always good fun when he is on freq...

Stundent pilot in the pattern on a quiet sunday...

Student: Cessna ***, would like to leave the pattern on downwind, and return to Orlando
ATC: Thats a negative, you are required to do atleast two more touch'n goes...
Long delay...
Student: Cessna ***, ehm..ok...two more then...
ATC: Nah..just kidding, contact orlando on ....., have a nice one...

Also had a personal run in with him...
I normally fly helicopters, but found myself driving a Piper Warrior for fun...holding short of the runway..

Me: Helicopter N****, holding short of 9 for a southwest departure...
ATC: When you figure out what you are flying, I'll let you take off...



fun at the time
