It may not be a clearance delivery position. Here at FCI, the RCO puts us
in contact with a Potomac Tracon controller, not the class C Richmond CD
controller located 11 miles away. Its the same guy who answers our calls on
the departure frequency is the same guy answering the RCO for getting
clearances.

Of course it could be an incredible coincidence, with the CD controller
rotating from his CD position at the Richmond tower to the Tracon, 75 miles
away, during my run-up.

He's on the ground. CD says to him: "...contact approach
when airborne..."


Interesting. A clearance delivery position that won't deliver a clearance
to an aircraft on the ground.
