Short Final: The Lancaster Unicorn

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • A pilot humorously mispronounced "Unicom" as "Unicorn" during a radio call while approaching Lancaster, NY.
  • The pilot reflected on the mistake, noting the lack of actual unicorns at the airport.

Almost home to Lancaster, NY, after a long (for me) flight from Charlottesville, VA, I wanted to find out if anyone was on the ground at Lancaster:

Me: “Lancaster Unicorn … Lancaster Unicorn”—I actually said it wrong twice—“Lancaster Unicom! Piper One Seven Two Mike Echo …”

Sadly, no one got to enjoy this with me. But don’t bother looking for unicorns at Lancaster. I already checked.
