I'm not giving up. :) <br />Thanks for being my inspiration!Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-3559146361503150862011-01-06T17:28:57.643-08:002011-01-06T17:28:57.643-08:00D.B.

Caution wake turbulence, cleared to land”<br /><br />Cessna 4GM: “4GM, number 3 cleared to land, looking for the Lear”<br /><br />In the meantime, I landed and was exiting the runway.<br /><br />Cessna 4GM: “Tower, is that the Lear about to land?”<br /><br />Tower: “The Lear’s on a 1/2 mile final”<br /><br />4GM: “Oh, I wasn’t sure. Looks slow for a Lear”<br /><br />Tower: “Well, see if you can catch him!”D.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16311812701887962320noreply@blogger.com
