Flying with the wife.
Me: Skyhawk ##1, four miles south of the field, entering left downwind runway 22.
Other Pilot: N##2 crossing mid-field. I dont see you, do you have your lights on?
ME: We are all lit.
Wife: (over the intercom) That didn’t sound right.
Me: Just to clarify, the plane is lit, not the pilot.
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- A pilot's casual radio communication, stating "We are all lit" to confirm visibility, led to a humorous misinterpretation.
- His wife's comment on the unusual phrasing prompted the pilot to clarify that it was the aircraft, not himself, that was illuminated.
