1972, Barksdale AFB:

A visiting SR-71 leaving the base was taking what seemed an
inordinately long time holding in position for takeoff. I was
standing in front of Base Ops amid a small group of people watching,
when someone said, "I wonder what's taking him so long."

Whereupon someone else cracked, "He's waiting on a landing
clearance at Nellis."
