Some folks make little mistakes in their work...

I've only landed at an Air Force Base a few times, but every time I was asked to confirm that my landing gear was down and locked when given my landing clearance.

The last time I querried the controler and he told me it was standard for pilots to verbally announce that the landing gear was "down and locked" prior to landing at Air Force Bases. I would like to see that standard used at every towered airport.

I bet this guy feels about two inches tall about now, I know I would.
