Last summer, I was flying around the western edge of the New York Class B talking to NY Approach. He called out business jet traffic arriving at Teterboro to me first and then:
Approach: BizJet123, traffic 12 o’clock, 3 miles, a helicopter at 3500.
BizJet: Not in sight, looking for the traffic.
Me: I’m not a helicopter, I’m a Maule, single engine taildragger.
Approach: Previous controller had you in as a helicopter, I’ll fix that.
Unidentified Voice: He’s actually slower than a helicopter.
