Line Up and Wait
This weekend I did my first IFR XC training flight.
One odd thing about the flight was that my squawk assigned by McGuire Clearance was 7174. This is the first time that either I or my instructor has ever heard of a squawk being assigned starting with a 7. We had the controller repeat it twice.
Did we get used for tracking practice? Is there some other reason? Or were they just running out of numbers?
