Even ATC gets it wrong sometimes

A few years ago, Piperboy84 very kindly flew me in his lovely, bright-yellow Maule from Santa Monica to Camarillo for lunch.

Taxiing out for the return flight, the Tower gave avoidance instructions to an incoming Cessna:

"Taxi behind the yellow Cub".

However, the woman in the Cessna was having none of that:

"Er, taxi behind the little yellow airplane."

So it's true - all light aircraft are Piper Cubs.
