Here's to you Turbo-Prop Man.....

[QCappy]

"Seattle Tower, good evening, Horizon 100 over Boeing for 16R."

"Horizon 100, do you have the preceeding Southwest Boeing 737 in sight?"

"That's affirmative."

"Reduce to you minimum approach speed. You have a 70kt overtake."

I guess what the controller wants, the controller gets.......condition levers 1050, gear down, flaps 15, slow to 100 kts......for 5 miles. In the meantime, Southwest has landed, crossed 16L and is taxiing at 40 kts to his gate. At touchdown and the contoller says:

"Horizon 100. Minimum delay on the runway, an Alaska 737 on a one mile final behind you!"

Hmm...you told a Dash to reduce to it's minimum approach speed at the FAF...silly controller.

Ahh...how I love my T-Prop:beer:

 

[belchfire]

Yeah cappy, that's the kind of stuff I'll miss...but I couldn't slow the jball down that much. I always kind of wanted to fly the dash. Commuted on them alot out of CLT. Nice bird.

Why not go 35 and send Alaska around?

Take a wrong turn onto a taxiway but its OK, you can pull a quick U-turn on any 75' taxiway...

A little reverse to blow snow all over your favorite ramper....

Grinding though snowdirfts higher than your prop clearance...

The hooliganism induced by perpetually empty airplanes...

...at least I've heard about such things.

Sounds like Jamestown, NY / Bradford, PA in the winter 9/10 legs a day. Wonderful Lake Erie snow storms.

Youll have to excuse my young jetness but what is a jball?

Horizon 100, cancel landing clearance, climb and maintain 3000, turn right 200 and contact approach on STFU.75...

Its a jetpig.

 

[punkpilot48]

Its a jetpig.

Wow that clears it all up.

Uhh... first off, that's not the way it works. Airplane being overtaken has the right of way.

Second... IT WAS A JOKE!

 

[Cardinal]

Its a jetpig.

Sigh....Jetstream 32.

It will be a non-issue when the FAA finally seperates the airports and runways for use into catagories of planes!

I had to hold short in an Airbus in Sacremento yesterday for a WARRIOR!!!!! while he did a touch and go. FVCK THAT $HIT!!!!! I reported the controller to our company and I'm sure he's presently in the process of getting a giant plastic fuel tester inserted in his rectum. Retard!!!!

 

[punkpilot48]

Sigh....Jetstream 32.

Thanks

 

[blueridge71]

You don't need to let ops know you're on the ground, they already know and so does the whole airport. J41 on the ground.

Garrett grenades.
Kinda miss the '41 but not the company.

LOL. I remember the Jetstream salute. All the rampers and passengers (including the ones inside the terminal) would stick their fingers in their ears as we taxied up.

And the best pilot bag sticker I ever saw:

Two slow screws beats four fast blow jobs any day.

Please tell me your kidding. Please oh please

 

[crashpad]

Why would I kid about saving hundreds of dollars in jet fuel versus some fvcking geeser practicing his approach at 80 kts to a 9,000' rwy.
No, I'm not kidding. Furthermore, don't think you have a right to train weekend warriors at the expenses of the airlines trying doing business.
Show some respect and courtesy for the industry which you work within.
