[Maverick]: Tower, this is Ghostrider, requesting a fly-by.

[Tower]: Negative, Ghostrider, the pattern is full.

[Cue to Maverick doing a fly-by, anyway, and Air Boss Johnson spilling his coffee because he apparently thought an open-topped mug near sensitive electronic equipment was a good idea.]

I always felt Air Boss Johnson was a bit of a hard-head anyway. And I'm sure #CYXU ATC were far more polite to the @usnavyblueangels as they not-quite-buzzed the tower here in #ldnont.
