Overheard in Southern Florida:
Fort Myers Approach:
“Cessna Three Four Alpha, say heading.”
Cessna:
“Ah, we’re headin’ for Tampa.”
Fort Myers Approach:
“Cessna Three Four Alpha, say heading.”
Cessna:
“Well, okay. We’re headin’ for the LaBelle VOR first and then going on to Tampa.”
Fort Myers Approach:
“Cessna Three Four Alpha, could you look at your compass and tell me what number is behind the little line?”
Cessna:
“Oh – you want to know which way we’re going right now. Three five zero, sir.”
