He was immediately cleared to land and flew an extended base leg for
the final approach. When he turned final, one of the pilots who was
holding for when the airport would be re-opened asked about him and
was told: "Global flyer 101 is on final". Whereupon the holding pilot
congratulated Fossett on the approach frequency. That opened a minor
floodgate of congratulatory, but brief calls, maybe six or eight in
total.

Did you hear the one anonymous call that said, "Fossett, you're a stud."?
