Flying with the wife.
Me: Skyhawk ##1, four miles south of the field, entering left downwind runway 22.
Other Pilot: N##2 crossing mid-field. I dont see you, do you have your lights on?
ME: We are all lit.
Wife: (over the intercom) That didn’t sound right.
Me: Just to clarify, the plane is lit, not the pilot.
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- During a flight, a pilot's casual response, "We are all lit," to a query about their aircraft's lights led to a humorous misinterpretation by their wife.
- The pilot quickly had to clarify that they meant the *plane* was illuminated, not themselves, highlighting the double entendre of the phrase.
