Overheard in IFR Magazine‘s “On the Air”

A few years ago, when I drove up to my airport, there was an Aeronca there with two men looking at a chart.

One of the men with the chart:
“This is Catherine, Alabama, isn’t it?”

Me:
“Yes, sir, it is.”

The man with the chart:
“Can you show me Catherine on this chart?”

Me:
“Sure. But, um – how did you know you were in Catherine if you couldn’t find it on the chart.”

Second man looking at the chart:
“Well, we looked on that coon dog’s collar, and it had the town name on it.”
