Flight Plan Overdue.
My wife took a call coupla days ago. From a Florida Air Force Base.
She asked me to call them.
"Your plane is overdue". I confirmed the number, but told them I
believed it was still in its open tee hangar. I called back when the
line chief checked. I offered his opinion - "probably somebody
fat-fingered the tail number on his flight plan.
My wife called me again - 30 minutes later: A Florida Coast Guard rep
called - but apologized when he heard the AF contact had got to us first
- said he would get details from them.
Good to know there a no-nonsense first step built into the overdue
flight plan - call the owner of record.
Hope I don't get any calls home for real!
