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.’”

Short Final: 1812
Key Takeaways:
- An American Airlines pilot sought clarification on a radio frequency (118.12) from air traffic control.
- The controller humorously confirmed "eighteen twelve" by referencing "The War Of 1812."
- This brief, witty exchange occurred between the flight and Kansas City Center.
