Was that the guy that kept saying "Ok, let's see....where are we at here?"
Then pausing and saying nothing. At one time he repeatedly told an Aerostar
that he was cleared to land and the Aerostar pilot kept telling the
controller that he had two aircraft sitting on the approach end of the
runway. Finally another guy jumped in and told the Aerostar to go around.
At the same time a jet (I forget what type) asked three times "What about
me?"
It was definitely interesting listening to that guy.
