Short Final

Overheard in IFR Magazine's 'On the Air' Section
Overheard in IFR Magazine's "On the Air"

I heard this blooper on Albuquerque Center frequency:

Airliner:
"Albuquerque, Big Bird One Two Three level at 280 and would like to continue climb."

Center:
"I show 280 as your requested altitude."

Airliner (without hesitation) :
"Me too. I'll have to ask my captain about that."

(The subject was dropped.)
