Hey Mem ATC,

As a Pinnacle employee and time building pilot, I really enjoy flying into MEM. A few months ago, I flew in with a single and stayed the evening to watch the FedEx push with a buddy. I was concerned about getting my bug smasher out amoungst the sea of purple so the line guy at Signature gave me the phone number to MEM ATC. Gave the folks at ATC a call and the guy I spoke to was awesome, he joked with me "So your a F-18 right", very funny guy. He said it was ok to stay and they would sequence me on my outbound. Sure enough, when I called up ground control, they gave me 36C which was not being used. Once airborne I cut outa there as fast as I could. It was an awesome experience which would not have been possible without the real pros in MEM ATC. Thanks a million! Keep up the good work, hopefully soon I can say "Flagship" instead of "Skyhawk"!
