LOL - Yes, it may be the way I speak, but I’m frequently referred to as a Cessna, Sierra, etc. I too, heard a couple of Cirri on the air yesterday - one while I was talking to Ashville Approach, and another on Greer Approach. Perhaps one of them was you, but I was too busy dealing with the bumps to keep track of the call signs…! The funniest thing was coming home to HKY last night at about 8 pm – I shot the slot between the two convective sigmets – (it was an amazingly smooth ride in clear air. Even though the Macon FSS repeatedly advised me not to launch, the view out the window just didn’t match what he was saying, so I decided to poke my nose into the weather instead of laying over, with the option of doing a 180 if it looked like he was correct after all. He was SO wrong! and so it goes…)
So, for the funny: I got handed off to Greer approach at about 8:30 pm. There was only me, a C210 heading to Columbia, SC, and the controller on freq. The conversation went something like this:
Greer Apch:“Citation 508JS, radar contact 14 miles south of GMU.”
Me: “Greer, correction, 508JS is a Cirrus, not a Citation”
Greer Apch: “roger”
Greer Apch: (after about a minute of silence) "Cirrus 8JS, Do you know what the winds at your altitude are?
Me: “Macon radio said 270 at 75, but I haven’t checked with the GPS”
Greer Apch “8JS, Well, I show you at 35 hundred feet, heading 045 at 220 knots. As far as handling
in my airspace is concerned, you can pretend to be a Citation tonight!”
