On the fly-by I realized that whoever was watching the approach didn't
fully understand what I was asking for and what my problem was. He radios
me and states, "Yea you're right. I don't see a light on your gear
either." I guess I got exactly what I asked for there.

Thanks for the great story! That paragraph almost cost me my
coffee/laptop/nose...

Glad it ended well.
