Short Final

Memphis Center:“Cessna 1234, the HOG MOA is hot. Recommend course or elevation change to remain clear.” Cessna 1234:“How many planes are in there? Usually if there’s only a couple, I’ll go on through.” Memphis Center:“Well, even if there’s only one, you’re supposed to remain clear. But we’ve got four A-10s with transponders off, and I can’t see them on radar.” Cessna 1234 (laughing) :“O.K., I think you convinced me to remain clear.” Charles Lloydvia e-mail
