Two weeks ago I was coming back to Boulder from Akron, CO. There was
some buildup to the north and I could see a couple of cloud patches
with virga. Listening in to Denver Fligh****ch I heard this exchange
with a pilot who seemed a bit inexperienced but was trying hard.

Cessna 234: Uh, Fligh****ch, Cessna 234.
Fligh****ch: Cessna 234, go ahead, say request.
Cessna 234: Cessna 234 would like to file a pilot report.
Fligh****ch: Cessna 234, go ahead.
Cessna 234: Cessn 234 is between Longmont and Fort Collins - Loveland
at 7000'. There are some clouds to the northwest with virga. It
looks like the virga is now going all the way to the ground. Over.
Fligh****ch: Cessna 234, do you know virga is called when it hits
the ground?
Cessna 234: (slight pause). Uh, negative, I guess that I don't.
Fligh****ch: Virga that reaches the ground is called rain!
Cessna 234: Oh, thanks for that info.
