SHORT FINAL<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

During the late 1970s, a Royal Air Force \u00ab\u00a0Belfast\u00a0\u00bb strategic freighter approached on final to Chicago O’Hare. (What’s a Belfast? Read on!) Callsign: \u00ab\u00a0Ascot 1234.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Ascot 1234:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Chicago tower, Ascot 1234.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Chicago:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Ascot, say your aircraft type.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Ascot 1234:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Ascot 1234 is a Belfast.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Chicago:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Uhhh, what in heck’s a Belfast, Ascot?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Ascot 1234:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0It’s a big 4-turboprop freighter \u0097 bit like a pretty C-132.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Chicago:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0O.K., Ascot, you’re cleared to continue behind the landing 737. Do you have that visual?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Ascot 1234:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Ascot 1234, affirmative to continue.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

United 123:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Chicago Tower, this is United 123.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Chicago:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0United 123 Chicago, you’re cleared to continue behind the landing Belfast.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

United 123:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0The landing\u00a0what<\/em>?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Chicago:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0United 123, don’t you know a Belfast when you see one?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Chicago (and United) could be forgiven for not knowing what in heck a Belfast was:\u00a0Only 10 were ever built.<\/a>\u00a0But we (53 Squadron, Royal Air Force) flew them all round the world, and we loved ’em\u00a0…\u00a0.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
