Jumpindan: Haha, that is hilarious
This was the same controller that told me to exit at taxiway A, and when I asked if he wanted me to give way to the airplane already on A he said "what, there is an airplane there? I can't see through the papers on the window..."
Reminds me of Dar where for the longest time there was no working radar and everything was visual. Just that the windows the French contractor installed in the 70's were not UV resistant and became completely opaque! So there these guys are, asking position reports left right and center all the time, clogging the airwaves and make us wonder just how stupid they could possibly be while in reality they did an outstanding job considering they simply couldn't see
out their windows for years and years.
Window panes were finally replaced last year. And the radar works again, too. Wohoo!
