I used to fly a Cessna Cutlass. When I checked in using that type,
controllers often came back with "November xxxxx" because they
seldom heard that type, I suppose...or they said "Douglas xxxxx" or
"Cardinal xxxxx" or some such.

Now that I'm flying a Skylane, that sort of thing seldom happens.

We long ago gave up saying "Pathfinder November five six niner nine
tree" -- all you get is a lot of "What's that?" from controllers.
We just say "Dakota five six niner niner tree" now, and they all get
it.

It's a cherokee, moron.
