very interested

thanks. I listened. I love it how ATC always wants SOB's and fuel...and then doesn't know to ask for POUNDS of fuel up front.

by the way, they ask for fuel in pounds to know how big a mess the CFR people will have to deal with.

I see too that UPS was quite lucky to be so close to the airport when the problem happened. tell me, is there anything on TRACON frequency concerning the emergency?

regards

jon
