One time on Halloween night I heard a pilot make a common mistake but have a little fun with it.
Ramona Airport Tower: “Cirrus 12345, contact SoCal on 124.35.”
N12345: “Cirrus 12345 going to So‑Cal 124.35.”
N12345 (still transmitting on tower frequency): “SoCal, Cirrus N12345, 3400 climbing 4000.”
Tower: “Cirrus, 12345 you are still on tower frequency.”
N12345: “Cirrus 12345, Roger. I’m going as a student pilot for Halloween this year.”
