There's an ATC clip I saw online of the Allegiant Air MD-80 with the nose gear problem.

The funny thing in the clip though is the seaplane pilot who just won't stop complaining that he was forced to take an unusual vector because the controllers were instructed to clear the airspace while the MD-80 had the emergency. The guy really gets going past the halfway point in the 6 minute clip.
 
WEll that was me folks. It was a crazy vector. My mind is a steel trap, and I cant remember ever being vectored like that. My [lane is burning about 6gph...do you know how much that is? You probably dont, thats six gallons per hour, thats about $5 that i just blew b/c some young hot shot in the tower wanted to clear the way for some airplane with 150 people on board. Crazy I tell ya...Do you know how much $5 can buy ya, I remember going down to woolworths and getting a coke and burger for .10c......................................

Classic! And probably exactly what the seaplane pilot was thinking!

Ha Ha. Yeah thats so funny huh? Do you know what Tucks pads and Depends undergarments cost these days? I bet you think it's funny that he will have to sell his seaplane to buy his man diapers now.
 
That guy is such an ah and funny sometimes. I am a student at the Sanford Pilot Factory. He is a "regular". He is almost always argumentative with ATC.
By the way that's allegiant 758, the aircraft in the ATC recording, in my avatar.
 
I just tried to listen and got the same thing...

I couldn't stop laughing. I can't believe someone could be so stupid and ignorant. I'm sure it was recorded, and if the FAA wants to they can go after this guy.
