I think he realized that the spacing wasn't going to work, and he said, turn right, and I looked over, and there was an airplane, which those of you on the right-hand side, I thought it was a small airplane like the one you see at the airport right now doing touch-and-goes, and he said, turn right, and I said, there's an airplane over there, and he says, turn left, and then by the time, we read back to clearance, looked over and saw the airplane that was kind of coming on.

I don't know why they didn't give us a heads-up, because the airport base does have radar, and nobody said, hey, there's also a B-52 in the pattern, so I think, long story short, it was not fun, but I do,
