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.’”

Key Takeaways:
- An air traffic controller directed American 745 to contact Kansas City on frequency 118.12.
- The pilot sought clarification, repeating "eighteen twelve."
- The controller confirmed the frequency and humorously clarified "eighteen twelve" by adding, "as in 'The War Of.'"
