  • An instructor was guiding a student through a flight plan form.
  • When prompted for "Number on board and color," the student humorously misinterpreted "color" to refer to human race.
  • The student's response, "One white male," highlighted a comical misunderstanding of standard aviation terminology for describing an aircraft and its occupants.
