Short Final
Heard over northern Florida last night: Jacksonville Center:“Airliner XYZ: Turn left, heading 320.” Airliner XYZ:“Is that a 320 heading for Airliner XYZ?” Jacksonville Center:“No, that should be, ‘Turn left, heading 230’ for Airliner XYZ. Sorry about that. Five out of four controllers are dyslexic.” Airliner XYZ:“No problem. Five out of three pilots, same thing. Airliner XYZ turning left, heading 230.” Tom Ahonenvia e-mail
