This was a new one for me.

I was IFR this afternoon out of HPN for short practice flight. I was in

"Northbound". The controller then instructed the Cessna to position 50
feet north on Rwy 34, and then he cleared me to position and hold
behind the Cessna. The Cessna was VFR. I questioned the clearance,

I've been flying out of HPN since 1992 and I have never seen or heard
of anything like this being done there before, ever.

Did I miss something??

Nope. I've never seen that happen at HPN, but it's not uncommon at
other airports I've flown out of.
