Transcript:
Move me a favor. Can you get hold of, are any of the OBS vehicles here? 3-2-0-4-4-2[3], South 4-42[1]. Contact me. I'm not 100% sure, and I want to talk to that truck that's currently on 624[2]. It looks like they crossed 1-3 without ever talking to me while it was an active runway. South on a 180-radiol, maintain 3,000. Make right, or if I can't tell from here, within five miles. No delay expected. Just advise when you're ready to depart the hold. Continue via five-shot to that flack hangar. If you could, just get me in touch with that vehicle. We're here, or a hold south of the RB on the 180-r Radio 3,000, right turn. First, fire shot to continue to the ramp via Delta 3 Delta.
