"No horn No land"

[Lead Sled]

Heard a radio call coming back from Dallas love on a x/c where the a/c majically changed when the pilot corrected ATC.

"Cessna xxxx. You got a aerostar off you left when 11 oclock."

"Center, Im an aerojet not an aerostar."

"Correction Cessna xxxx you now have and aerojet off you left wing & decending."

I'd betch'a a nickle that they said "Astrojet" not "Aerojet". ATC is always calling us an Aerostar, since our identifier is ASTR. I normally reply - "When was the last time you saw an Aerostar at FL390 going .82M?

Our Citation always gets called a Centurion. Just a few minor differences between the two, right?!

you mean they don't call you "Twin Cessna"??


I love this radio s*it...my favorite personal screwup was the other day shooting approaches

We're on with approach:

"Cessna 345, 5 from the marker bla bla bla Cleared Back Course approach, contact tower on 123.45"

"Turn bla bla bla bla cleared back course contact rogers tower on 123.45"

so I turn the dial on the radio and I'm all ready to tell tower just what I want...

"Rogers Tower, Cessna 12345 3,000 Back ---- you're not tower"

had my instructor goin pretty good...I forgot to hit the switch from Com1 to Com2...oh well...

In an unintentional attempt to take this thread even further off topic, your funny quip reminds me of flying into Chicago O'Hare one time.

We're being vectored to the ILS as we're descending down to 4,000. It was the typical, busy evening traffic, when the controller comes on and says:

"Citation xxxxx, did you receive the earlier message from the last controller to keep up your best forward speed to the outer marker?"

Captain keys up the radio:

"Yea, we received that message, and this IS our best forward speed..."

I can't remember what the controller came back with, but she was really annoyed by it! At that moment I fully understood all the fun that is poked at the Citations being so slow!
