Beats me, I'm not a controller.


Well, I am, and you apparently felt you were in a position to tell me I was
wrong.



From what you've said, doesn't sound
like anything does. Nothing needs to though when you can see the
airplane land or crash as the case may be.


Yeah, I think I said something like that several messages ago.



I never saw any comment about having a strip that is thrown away until
I'd commented several times about needing something as a reminder to
ensure the airplane had closed the flight plan.


Why did you assume there wasn't something as a reminder?



I saw comments about nothing happening and nothing needing to happen,
but no explanation as to what actually was happening. I never said I
didn't buy having a strip that stays in front of the controller until
the controller manually disposes of it.


Okay, so do you now understand that nothing happens and nothing needs to
happen?
