Narrative:
I was working local control at the bna ATCT. B757 was on final for runway 20R. An aircraft in the traffic pattern for cornelia fort came in very close proximity. This aircraft at cornelia fort should have been in the pattern on the west side of cornelia fort to remain clear of the runway 20R final, instead he was in the pattern on the east side. The aircraft was noticed the same time that the flight crew commented. They said that was close and were upset. Class B would possibly avert these sits.
