ahem

let us not forget who was flying that aircraft!

early in the approach I mucked up once cos I read the wrong thing in ivac but it was no serios problem, the large circly thingy you see there is cos I said 080 instead of 008.. lol

It's because there was lots of traffic around and James was merely getting everyone into sequence for an orderly approach. Yeah, that's it, an orderly approach aye James?

Yeah that would be it Matt, James is good like that.

Though I shouldn't give too much rarkage, James is approaching Level C1 in the controlling ranks while I'm a lowly S2.

Well I often fine when controlling, especially in a low-traffic zone like NZ, you often get bored so you end up wanting to go the extra mile for someone...even if it's unnecessary as it was this afternoon.
