Brilliant. What a story.

It's like an old joke that you really love. From three minutes out, you know the punchline, and for the next three minutes you are giggling waiting for the punchline, and it doesn't disappoint when it comes =))

There is a similar story of the SR71 over LA where the various airliners are requesting clearance to their respective flight levels when the SR 71 joins in requesting clearance to FL60. Air traffic say how are you going to get up there, the reply is we are coming down.
