As a retired Center Air Traffic Controller, thank you for that. I've got a million stories, and it's good to hear one from the other side of the mike.
Oh you haven’t seen this one? In jealous you are getting to read it for the first time today. It’s so good
Lmao I hadn't seen that reversed copypasta one yet. It's beautiful
Lol is this not a story about you? Is it a wall of text meme I've never heard of?
The original story is from the SR-71 pilot's perspective https://www.thesr71blackbird.com/Aircraft/Stories/sr-71-blackbird-speed-check-story
Well it made perfect sense to me, and was funny and rang true. Real pilot humor there.
lol yea. It’s a reversed copy pasta. The original story is from the SR71’s perspective. It’s pet great both ways.
