VFR Flight Following -- What's going on here?

It truly is. A couple of years ago I was getting flight following
from Approach around Butte (or was it Billings?). I was tempted to
ask the controller if he was Newps, but I didn't even know how to
pronounce it (Noops?). :-))

We don't do Butte. I'm in Billings. Ask for the guy with the slow 182,
they'll know who I am.

I have to fly to Roundup next Saturday (the 2nd), and that'll put me right
over Billings when I start my descent. Maybe I can "give you a shout".

I'll be gone. We are flying back to the Twin Cities next Thursday the
30th. RPX has the second cheapest gas in the area, the cheapest is at
Laurel, 6S8, 12 SW of BIL. They're getting $2.79. You must know
somebody in Roundup, otherwise there's no reason to go there. Say hi to
Jake, he's the airport manager, he used to work for my mechanic in
Columbus(6S3)until recently.

That'll help!!

Yup...my best bud, now retired up there to a log home on 100 acres near
Delphia.

He invited son and me to go bust some Prairie Dogs, and do some fishing for
the holiday weekend. Then, a massive BBQ and lots of beer.

Will he know who you are?

Yep, he did all the work at the shop. He recently quit and now is the
manager at RPX.

Will he know what I mean if I say "Newps sent me!", or do I have to say,
"The approach controller over yonder in Billings with the slow 182..."?

Just do a low pass and intone into the microphone "I've been sent".

Either one.
