Citation drivers won't let you make that mistake - they'll make darned
sure you know it's a Citation.

The same is true for everyone driving any Cessna larger than a Skylane.
The only ones calling themselves "Cessna" are flying model numbers
lower than 190.

I once had an old timer flight instructor. One day he got to fly one of
his ex-student's Citations, his first time in a jet. He had ball flying
that jet and soon it was time to go back home. He called up the tower (a
busy Class D) and called in "Cessna 12345 9 miles east, landing,
information Charlie". A few minutes later the controller called back, her
voice a few octaves higher and said, "Cessna 12345 are you a CITATON?"
The controllers recognized his deep voice and were used to that voice
flying around in the pistons. Guess you had to be there, but it was good
for a chuckle for all after he landed.
