00:00For those of you on the right-hand side, you probably saw the airplane kind of sort of coming at us.

00:04Nobody told us about it, and so we continued on air traffic.

00:08There's no radar here, so the tower is controlled, or excuse me, the tower does everything visually.

00:15And so they said report about a six mile, six miles from the airport.

00:19So we did that.

00:21I think he realized that the spacing wasn't going to work, and he said turn right.

00:25And I looked over, and there was an airplane, which, for those of you on the right-hand side,

00:31I thought it was a small airplane like the one you see at the airport right now doing touch-and-goes.

00:38And I thought it was the same as they were going to do to turn behind it.

00:40So sorry about the aggressive maneuver.

00:42It caught me by surprise.

00:44This is not normal at all.

00:46I don't know why they didn't give us a heads up, because the airport base does have radar,

00:51and nobody said, hey, there's also a B-52 in the pattern.

00:55Long story short, it was not fun, but I do apologize for it, and thank you for understanding.

01:02It was not a fun day, it was.

01:05Have a nice evening, and I'm glad you're safe.
