I don't know how to flight plan any more

Funny you should mention the G-V and sectional scenario Matt.

I had a couple of Cadets up in our CAP 182 this past February after we had
been talking about VFR charts before the flight. We had nice weather so we
were doing the KROG KFSM KROG seat change routine.

After checking in with Approach and getting sequenced behind a BeechJet we
heard our kerosene burning brethren call out "Hey Approach - what is that
big river down there off our port wing?" to which Approach replied
"According to my sectional, that's the Arkansas River". Utter silence...
until some wanko keyed a mic and we could all hear laughing in the
background.

I used that as an abject lesson in always knowing where you are if for no
other reason than not looking stupid.

Was he lost...or just curious?

I can't see a G-V pilot keeping a sectional at their side :~)
