JK. Ah, yes, JK.

'I will be late for the afternoon duty tomorrow, I have to meet the Dutch Ambassador about financing a self-propelled barge'

'Anyone want to drive a Beemer for a few days, I'm holding it in case the owner doesn't pay me what he lost on cards the other night'.

Please could someone give chapter and verse about the 'Airline XX, do you have the traffic in sight?' transmission? I remember it was a JK classic, but cannot for the life of me remember the details......

And the urban legend - well, I'm assuming it was UG, it seemed a tad extreme even for JK - about two large gentlemen who turned up at the CTB one night asking to see 'Da Supervisor' because they felt they had a prior call on JKs presence, and he was scheduled for a night duty.

As a raw newbie to the CTB, I wondered how many more like him there could be. I don't know if I should say y'all were like that or he was a one-off, after 21 years there I was still undecided.
