Huh? Is that a thing where you're from?
Speaking of irrational outrage, aren't you the guy who called the cops because you got some junk mail you didn't like?

Huh? CAP Flt was already in Class B, on a clearance and under positive control and acknowledging clearances with instructions without a readback or a call sign. Was that not obvious? Honestly I was surprised that a controller never reminded them to use their callsign.

So I looked up some background on this. When I was a young buck, I knew CAP flew lots of 172s and there was also a King Air that used to operate out of my local airport with a Cap Flt callsign. Not being familiar with CAPs fleet, I just assumed that was a normal thing. Turns out private aircraft can operate for CAP with a CAP Flt callsign with prior arrangement. Who knew?
The aircraft in question was cleared to 9000, not an altitude I'm used to hearing 172s at out in the flatlands. If I had to guess now, I'd bet it was a 182 or 206.
