Well before you go, let me just thank you guys in the ISZ tower for the hours of entertainment you provide, on Pprune and on the R/T. It sure beats the hell out of all those interminable TV hospital dramas I have to sit through.
Talk about dramatic tension... Imagine the scene, The Dash 8 sitting on the threshold, it was cleared-immediate ages ago, whatever is he doing down there? The Shed that is belting down the ILS, pretty much over the lights by now, yet the language behind the glass of of ISZ tower cannot be hidden behind an unpressed TX button..it can be imagined clear enough..
50 mouths eating 50 half-eaten lunchtime sandwiches in 50 parked up cars overlooking the scene pause in anticipation..
Finally a somewhat strangled "XYZ 6969 roll NOW!" and the act is complete, the 8 finally bimbles off, the shed floats down like a falling leaf, and the spectators lunchtime sandwich gets finished.
Sure beats E.R!
Cheerio!
PS Who is the rabid Jacobite that always manages to keep Kitty 01R waiting for an S61 at 9 DME, surely Her Maj comes before a dozen smelly oilmen? (Oh, no, that would be terrible, perish the thought)
