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 radio call about having his plane's lights on was humorously misconstrued due to his phrasing "We are all lit."
- The pilot's wife, overhearing on the intercom, pointed out the potential double meaning of his statement.
- The pilot quickly clarified his communication, emphasizing that the aircraft, not himself, was illuminated.
