| Overheard in IFR Magazine‘s “On the Air” |
At some now-forgotten backwoods class G airport, I was in the run-up area trying to unfoul a plug by leaning the crap out of my worn-out Lycoming 180hp engine, and, despite my anxiety over an impending $25K overhaul, I managed to catch the following on CTAF:
Cherokee 1234:
“Cherokee 1234, [unintelligible] … . Please advise …” [becomes completely unintelligible]
[pause]
Another Aircraft in the Area:
“Cherokee 1234, what do you need advice on – how to fly your airplane? a career choice? tips on your love life? What?”
Cherokee 1234:
“Ah – ah – how about advise your position?”
Unknown Kibitzer:
“Man, if you have to ask, you need to learn to look out the window.”
I wanted to ask if any of them could advise how to keep my spark plugs from fooling.
