Short Final…

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • A pilot at a non-towered airport requests "Airport Advisory" from Unicom.
  • Unicom misinterprets the pilot's call sign ("sign") for an astrological sign.
  • The pilot humorously responds by describing themselves as a Gemini, playing into the misunderstanding.

Overheard late last Friday night at my local non-towered airport…

C-G1234: Unicom, request Airport Advisory.

Unicom: Sorry, say again your sign?

C-G1234: I’m a Gemini. I like candle-light dinners and long walks on the beach … but I don’t see what that has to do with anything, right now.
