The Pilot's Prayer  
Oh controller, who sits in tower
Hallowed be thy sector.
Thy traffic come, thy instructions be done
On the ground as they are in the air.
Give us this day our radar vectors,
And forgive us our TCA incursions  
As we forgive those who cut us off on final.
And lead us not into adverse weather,
But deliver us our clearances.
-----------------------

Cheers all,
Ashar

Amen to that

Now..... Wouldn't it be fun if we'd all try to make-up our best aviation poem? using this one as a blueprint? (basically for the length and on the way it should be read)

Nice prayer but I'd never forgive someone who cut me off on final! I'd blast them out of the sky with my Hispanos, that would teach them some good manners

Im probably wrong but i've got something in my head that tells me hispanos (i think the correct name is something along the lines of hispano-suiza) were engines used in old aeroplanes.If so how would you blast them out of the sky??
Just found a bit of information at http://www.sae.org/news/releases/suiza.htm
Unless the hispanos you are talking about are something else

I suspect Ozzy means the Hispano 20mm cannon fitted to his Spitfire.

Ah that would make more sense  ;D

A little bit of info on Hispano-Suiza engines fitted to motor cars and aeroplanes...

A couple weeks ago I was on approach to the Spokane Int'l airport, number one for landing, and cleared for touch and go. I was only a couple miles out and the tower cleared a cherokee to land in front of me.

Andrew, FS doesnt count.  :P

Trying to enter the 45 to donwind at the end of my solo xcountry this weekend, I was forced to do three 360s east of the airport to wait for people either cutting in front of me for the downwind or people coming midefield crosswind at just the right time.  The last 360 I did resulted in me seeing the angel of death, which oddly enough decided to show itself as a kingair 250 that day.  Was able to shake the bugger with a quick descent to the right though

I'm sure all RL pilots have their horror stories of being cut off multiple times

Great poem

One, while flying as a passenger, we were on short final and an aircraft taxied out in front of us, prompting a quick go-around
