Overheard just after landing at Austin, Texas:
Cessna 0DS: “Austin Tower, Cessna Five Seven Zero Delta Sierra, ready for departure.”
No response for a short time.
Tower: “Was that American Twelve Sixty‑one calling?”
Cessna 0DS: “I wish. No, it was Cessna Five Seven Zero Delta Sierra.”
Unidentified: “Be careful what you wish for.”
