Short Final: 1812

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • An air traffic controller instructed American 745 to switch to frequency 118.12.
  • The pilot sought clarification on the frequency given.
  • The controller humorously confirmed "eighteen twelve" by adding "as in 'The War Of'" for clarity.

Heard somewhere over Kansas:

Center: “American 745, contact Kansas City on 118.12.”

American 745: “Was that eighteen twelve for American 745?”

Center: “American 745, yes, eighteen twelve, as in ‘The War Of.’”
