I was flying VFR with flight following to Caldwell, N.J., (KCDW) and had the following exchange:

New York Approach: “Skyhawk Three One Seven Bravo Tango, you have a Boeing 737 at your six o’clock, overtaking you and a thousand feet above you.”
Me: “Looking for traffic.”
New York Approach: “Continental 213, you have Cessna traffic at your twelve o’clock, one thousand feet below you.” Continental 213: “Traffic in sight.”
Me: (as the 737 passes above me): “New York Approach, Seven Bravo Tango has traffic in sight.”
New York Approach: “Three One Seven Bravo Tango, thank you, maintain VFR separa – well, I guess that’s a technicality. You couldn’t catch him if you wanted to.”
Me: “I could … if I wanted to.”
Continental 213: “You’re gonna have to pedal faster than that.”

“I take them by surprise, and don’t usually tell them I’m going to do it – but David needs a little audience participation to pull it off”
