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

Then crash and set off the ELT. We will find you.

Using a 121.5 MHz or 406 MHz ELT?

Perhaps that was my problem -- I didn't consider the lack of planning (i.e.:
Poor radio coverage in the Rantoul area) on Chicago's part to be an
emergency on my part.

Only you would consider the results of an unannounced descent into poor
reception a lack of planning on the part of ATC.

Because she smells like a new truck.

Perhaps. We weren't getting FF but in and out of the class B.

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?). :-))

It's no enigma. We all know you're The Tick using a secret identity. The
misspelled anagram of "Spoon!" is a dead giveaway.

You'll have to help me here.

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

They say if you have to explain a joke, it's not funny anymore. Oh
well...all good things must come to an end, right?

"Newps" is an anagram of "Spewn", which is one possible misspelling of
"Spoon", the battle cry of The Tick, a much-loved cartoon superhero
character.

Now that your secret is out, there's no enigma. Not even wrapped in a
paradox.

"Wouldn't be"?

That's clearly just an odd coincidence. I've already pointed out his true
identity.

In any case, not that it matters, but IMHO it's poor form to "out" someone
(on the Internet or elsewhere) when they've made a choice to keep certain
information privileged. That goes double when you haven't actually verified
the information you're "revealing".
