Why would he have a jet off his wing?

Might've busted a TFR.

It were!

The guy was absolutely clueless. Must have been related to the pilot
to which Denny referred.

Some where back in the archives there should be a
transcription/narration of the conversation.

There were about 6 or 8 of us in the hanger and the laughter was so
loud it was difficult to hear the radio.

Some years back I was southbound at roughly 190 MPH talking to Ft
Wayne app while trying to stay low enough to stay out of the clag and
high enough not to hit something. It was not a good day but at least I
knew where I was and so did they. Well as good as we could with VORs
and DME.

I figured I'd just keep heading for the VOR unless, or until they said
something. Finally in an apologetically sounding voice I heard...
Ahhh... thirty three romeo, we really need you to turn heading zero
nine zero for traffic avoidance. I responded with an immediate turn
and they responded with a thank you and told me when it was safe to
turn south again. :-))

Coming back from the north today I had one eye on the temperature and
the other on the wings. I didn't want to file as that would have
added about 3000 to my current 3000 which would have put me in the
soup which was a tad frosty. (and the weather forecast was for blue
sky)
