Also to add, there are protocol to follow between tower and the pilot.
The control tower is the boss and instructions are given and a response
is required, and a confirmation to confirm both parties understand the
instructions ....This policy was established to prevent mis-understand
between two parties and to prevent accidents ..... Business often use it
but you get the human condition to "GO" on the first word, and disaster
sometimes happens ..... We are not robots to follow instructions all the
time ..... human error ..... should be computerized to remove the human
error ................

Sounds like most of you were operating small aircraft at small strips. I
know from experience that when you are at a "big" airport and getting out
quickly is required, a turn from taxiway to runway at max speed is often
done and you just slap the throttles to the firewall. The "no reason to
check" gene kicks in, since you "know" you are on the correct runway -- V1
and V2 are way more important at that point than runway heading on the mag
compass.

Now THAT sounds like fun!
When there was a new guy handling operations at the field, some of the
older glider pilots liked to drop low on final and fly over the swamp,
then up the hill to the runway in ground effect. From the ops cart they
would disappear completely for a few seconds. Never failed to get a
strong reaction.
