Short Final

Overheard in IFR Magazine‘s “On the Air” While cruising at flight level, we heard the following between an American Airlines airliner and Miami Center: Airliner:“Center, American XXXX looking for higher.” Miami Center (female voice):“Didn’t hear you check in.” Airliner:“First time I’ve heard your voice. I must’ve forgotten.” Miami Center“That happens when you’re over twenty-six or -seven.” Airliner:“I hope you’re talking thousands of feet.” Center:“No. Age. “Sorry.” Jarred WhitfieldDes Moines, Iowa
