Don't forget - NEVER EVER look out of the large panes of glass surrounding you. They may highlight flaws in your plan or aircraft on fire. Much safer to look at the high tech surface movement radar thingy.

Ah yes GT3, when the cries go up,
"Hey it's Golf Romeo overhead. I saw him in Caracas in 1988",
I can't help getting a tiny bit moist.

And the reply...."but did you ever see that knackered old IL62 on the far side? with no engines?"

You misses the Arrivals phone call to the Fin:
"The spacing is getting a little tight, can you widen it"

The spacing is getting a little tight, can you widen it
A long time ago I remember asking No 2 (that shows my age) for a 3 mile gap so I could get a towing Jumbo across at Block 85!

Ah! The good old days when we were on £15000 a year, 2.5 mile spacing was the norm (what procedure?) and GMC was bandboxed!

Looking forward to my £15K for supplying these Heathrow boys & girls (or are they called "customers" now) with the perfectly spaced traffic
