Short Final

Overheard in IFR Magazine‘s “On the Air” A few years ago, when I drove up to my airport, there was an Aeronca there with two men looking at a chart. One of the men with the chart:“This is Catherine, Alabama, isn’t it?” Me:“Yes, sir, it is.” The man with the chart:“Can you show me Catherine on this chart?” Me:“Sure. But, um – how did you know you were in Catherine if you couldn’t find it on the chart.” Second man looking at the chart:“Well, we looked on that coon dog’s collar, and it had the town name on it.” Anonymous taleas told to IFR magazine’s “On the Air”
