Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Ok you have to be kidding me. After what I thought was going to be an isolated incident with the one mercury pilot clogging the airways asking about the UND warrior, this week is full of stories.
Earlier in the week the pilots were supposed to follow the Riddle Hill Visual into runway 7. Some how they got lined up to fly into runway 5 at Fairchild AFB, they got close to the runway at the AFB and called a go-around tower came back with "You are still 10 miles away cleared to land at the Spokane Intl airport runway 7" Another soft voice reply and they made it down on the correct runway.
Yesterday an aircraft taxis to runway 7 instead of 25. Don't know how that happened. Must have been a huge brain fart.
Today nearly the same taxi incident when the pilot read back the incorrect taxi instructions twice. Ground told them to hold and follow the cactus instead. They sat there on the ramp and waited for the cactus to push back and then taxi by so they could follow.
The controllers are begining to be a little wary with the skills of these pilots and so am I. If you are flying a mini 737 you should have more skill then your average foreign student pilot.
