Ok. I was going from Milwaukee to Indianapolis: KMWC to KEYE (I think -
Indy Exec).



EYE is Eagle Creek Airpark, Indianapolis Executive Airport is TYQ.

Ah yes.. had originally considered TYQ then switch to Eagle Creek. This
was 5-6 weeks ago now.

That would be JAYBE.

Yup. That was the first one.

Had you put "VFR GPS" in the remarks for your trip to Indianapolis?

Yes, I did. Are you going to tell me I got what I asked for? I
understand that, now. But, I maintain that, well, treating that remark
just like "/G" by ATC is perhaps not the most logical way to treat it.
Now that I know how the system works for real, though, great!!

Morey is about 8 miles WSW of MSN, by the way.

Ah, Ok. I was off by a bit there. I'm usually SE of MSN when given the
direct clearance so it is somehwat longer than that (but not 20 I guess).
