Heard over north central Florida:
Cirrus 123CD:
“Jacksonville Center, Cirrus 123CD. 5,000.”
Jacksonville Approach:
“Mooney 123CD, altimeter 30.05. Fly heading 220.”
[no reply]
Jacksonville Approach:
“Mooney 123CD, fly heading 220.”
Cirrus 123CD:
“Sir, was that for 123CD? Because you keep calling us a Mooney, but we are a Cirrus.”
Jacksonville Approach:
“Well, if you keep calling me ‘Center,’ I’m going to keep calling you a Mooney.”
Later in the flight, when Jax handed us off to the tower:
Me:
“Going to the tower. Thanks for all the help today, ‘Center.'”
[pause]
Jacksonville Approach:
“Ouch!”
