Back in the 90’s I was doing a lot of flying at Santa Monica airport and became friends with the guys in the tower, flying the trusty old Warrior on about a 1 mile final I get a call from the tower asking me to clear to the right to allow a fast closing “Starship” to get landing priority, I responded initially with a “yeah right a “Starship” and let me guess, Captain Kirk is at the controls right” There response made me realise they were not joking and sure as hell a plane I had never heard off passed me by and what a beautiful aircraft it was
