Silence.

I might have crashed from too much laughter. Way to stay on the ball.

In the several minutes it took to taxi back to parking on my IR ride, we
heard both a blatant bust of the local Charlie space, and pilot
badgering the tower to make the IFR / VFR clearance choice for him. And
I mean badgering. "No really, what would you do? You know,
unofficially..."

I was just glad the DE wasn't shaking his head in response to something
I was doing. G
