“Air Traffic Control: Turning Pilots into Money Makers!”

The controller who was working a busy pattern told the 727 on downwind to make a three-sixty (to do a complete circle, usually to provide spacing between aircraft).

The pilot of the 727 complained, “Do you know it costs us two thousand dollars to make a three-sixty in this airplane?”

Without missing a beat, the controller replied, “Roger, give me four thousand dollars’ worth!”
