What I think happened here is that he misunderstood "Warrior" as me
saying "four" or something. When I file all I say for type is PA-28,
and to ATC guys a PA-28 is a Cherokee. So from that point on, I now use
Cherokee as my call sign, even though it says "Warrior III" on the
side, and nowhere in the POH or anywhere else does it have the word
"Cherokee". I know its not a big deal, but I was just wondering, what
do all the other Warrior people use?



Don't feel bad. I used to fly a Consolidated B-24J Liberator around the
country. You know, the 4 engine WWII bomber.

Invariably when flying IFR we would be called "Beech" by the
controllers. It seems the Beech Sierra is a "B24".

I started calling up and saying "Liberator 224J, a WWII 4-engine bomber".

They would say "Beech 224J, cleared as filed......."

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
