As a former Naval Aviator, thanks for all the times you & your fellow controllers talked us down out of the goo.
I salute you, sir!
By the way, did you hear the story from the Vietnam war about a Continental 707 inbound to DaNang from the north. DaNang had to scramble a flight of Phantoms to the north, so the DaNang controller told the Continental, "Give me a left 360."
The Continental pilot said, "It costs my airline $200 every time I do a 180."
The controller, probably a young NCO, came back quick as a wink, "Well then, give me $400 worth to the left!"
And, thank you for your service!
