Odds and Ends This is a very recent conversation that took place somewhere in the Middle East.
Unit 87: "Tower we are ready".
Tower: "Very good Unit 87. Runway 24, turn right, climb to flight level 220". (22,000ft)
Unit 87: "I don't think that will be possible".
Tower: "And why not?"
Unit 87: "We are the runway sweeper, we are here to clean runways, not to fly them".
Tower: "Nothing further" and then a deafening silence.
