That was not the only ATC error. When similar callsigns are on the

pilot of the situation.


I've had fun with that. My club owns Archer 17AV. There is also a
Archer 117AV in the area. One day I'm just about to call up NY
Approach returning to HPN when 117AV beats me to it and checks in,
same destination. It took me a while to get the controller to
understand that he hadn't just heard the callsign wrong, and there
really were two of us.
