From the Airwaves

Recently heard on O'Hare ground control's frequency

Controller: "Airshuttle 1234, just need to confirm your routing, I didn't get any paperwork on you. Confirm you're cleared to the Austin-Straubel Airport via the O'Hare one departure, radar vectors Badger then direct?"

Airshuttle 1234: "Actually sir, Airshuttle 1234 is headed for Green Bay today."

Controller: "Ah, Airshuttle 1234, Austin-Straubel is the name of the airport in Green Bay. I have to clear you to an airport as opposed to the city itself, that way you don't try to land on main street."
