In the movie 'Top Gun' a U.S. Navy pilot Maverick is flying in his aircraft and at that moment he requests a fly-bly and is then denied by the head of Air Boss Johnson.
Navy Pilot asked by saying "Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby. And the controller office replied, "Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full."
Basically, the Negative Ghost rider, Pattern is full means No. And it has nothing to do with comic-character ghost rider.
Who said Negative Ghost Rider?
Air Boss Johnson.
Full Line -
Maverick: "Tower, this is Ghost Rider, requesting a flybly." Head Officer johnson: "Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full."
