Short Final

Between Houston and Austin on December 18, 2012, I overheard the following breif conversation between Houston Center and another aircraft: Aircraft:“Houston Center, can you give me a current altimeter setting?” Center:“At your altitude, it is 29.92.” Aircraft:“Uhhhh — yeah.” [A brief pause.] Aircraft:“Guess I will see that one in the back of IFR magazine next month.” Larry Frasiervia e-mail

Between Houston and Austin on December 18, 2012, I overheard the following breif conversation between Houston Center and another aircraft:

Aircraft:
"Houston Center, can you give me a current altimeter setting?"

Center:
"At your altitude, it is 29.92."

Aircraft:
"Uhhhh -- yeah."

[A brief pause.]

Aircraft:
"Guess I will see that one in the back of IFR magazine next month."
