On a nice fall afternoon, I was returning to my home airport after a Missouri Pilots Association board meeting. Another member was about 10 minutes ahead of me, and we were both on flight following with Kansas City Center. I heard Center give my friend a traffic advisory as we were nearing Kansas City.
Center: “Warrior 1234, be advised numerous targets maneuvering 12 o’clock, 15 miles.”
Warrior: “Roger. Could those be migratory waterfowl?”
Center: “No, ma’am, not unless they’re equipped with transponders.”
