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, and air traffic, and there's no radar here,

00:10so the tower is controlled, or excuse me, the tower does everything visually,

00:15and so they said report about a six mile, you're six miles from the airport, so 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 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 he said turn right, and I said there's an airplane over there, and he says turn left,

00:44and then by the time we read back to clearance, looked over and saw the airplane that was kind of coming on an converging course with us,

00:52and so given his speed, it was the military, I don't know how fast they were going,

00:55but they were a lot faster than us, and I felt it was the safest thing to do to turn behind it,

00:59so sorry about the aggressive maneuver, it caught me by surprise, this is not normal at all,

01:05I don't know why they didn't give us a heads-up, because the airport base does have radar,

01:10and nobody said, hey, there's also a B-52 in the pattern, you know, I mean,

01:14long story short, it was not fun, but I do apologize for it, and thank you for understanding,

01:23it was kind of fun, it was not a fun day at work, so have a nice evening, and we're glad you're seeing me.
