[f-AA] ### Was Cleared to Land now Steven has new information for us!

[joeaksa at attglobal.net]

How do I know if its not practiced at any of the airports I fly into pray tell? I open my 
eyes when I am flying into and out of airports around the world, none of which have 
allowed two aircraft on the same runway when I am taking off or landing there. I can 
see what is being done with my aircraft and the others around me. 

Tell you what Steven, I will be the adult here and stop the discussion now. From the 
comments that I have received off list about this you might take the hint and do the 
same thing. Continuing will only reinforce the feeling that many people have about 
people working in the control tower's these days.

This is my last post on this thread.
