Prince Charles - Flying Career
The reigning monarch is always the Duke of Lancaster, whatever the gender. However, one is only allowed to toast the D of L in Lancashire. (Any erstwhile members of MUAS - before it became MASUAS - will know this).

Slow Down!!
(Sorry - this was meant for Lord Spandex Masher - I have 'drifted' the thread - apologies.)
I was asked by PANC ATC if I could maintain high speed in the descent.
I answered:
"Affirm, what speed would you like?"
"300kts OK?"
"That's fine...How long do you want us to maintain that?"
"All the way to the gate, if you can."
Only in the good ol' USof A.
(I was a bit slow though; I should have countered:
"OK you'd better let the guy on the ground frequency know about this!")

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
TTN, beat you. I had 30 minutes low level in a T-bird. Never managed to get a lock on on the radar though.

Is something really wrong with PPRuNe or are the last two posters intending to type the messages they are in this thread?
This is also something of a test...

Well, this message went where it was supposed to go
