Overheard in IFR Magazine's "On the Air"

While flying through Joshua Approach airspace in Southern California:

Joshua Approach:
"Bonanza Five Victor X-Ray, be advised you have traffic at your 12 o'clock 10 miles, an F-15."

Bonanza 5VX:
"Roger, we'll be looking, no contact."

Approach:
"Bonanza Five Victor X-Ray, traffic should be no factor but should be fun to watch."

Cessna 123:
"Not in this wild machine."

Approach:
"That's OK, I fly a Skyhawk, too."
