DFW | October 2009 | Overheard

I was out at Founders' Plaza this afternoon just as the clouds started clearing out and the much-missed sun made its appearance. The winds were blowing from the north so landings were using the 35s and 36s at DFW and I heard the following exchange on the West Tower frequency:

DFW West Tower:
American 1844, cleared to land, Runway three-six left, caution wake turbulence heavy Boeing 757 just departed on the parallel and a heavy Boeing 757 arrived just before you. Caution bird activity reported one-thousand five-hundred one mile from final.

American 1844: Well you're just full of good news for us, aren't you? Cleared to land three-six left, 1844.
