I had dispatched a solo student on his cross-country trip. The route took him over some higher terrain — about 2,000 feet higher than his departure airport. As usual, I was listening on frequency to hear him clear the zone on route when he called flight service.
Pilot:
“The sky is falling, and I will be returning back.”
Flight Service:
“I’ll advise Hatty Patty the sky is falling and you will be returning to base.”
