I also allways use ERCO, when I fill a Flight Plan, under Aircraft Type you must use ERCO.

I gave up 'Erco' very quickly as that was completely unrecognised. Funnily enough I was going to ask the forum if anyone else uses ERCO!

Half the time when I tell them that it is E R C O, they either make a remark like "That can't be right" or "How'd they come up with that?" Then I have to explain that ERCO built the original Coupes, and yes, E R C O really is the four letter identifier for the airplane. Does this happen to everyone or is it just me? It's starting to border on the comical now. What happened? Did all of the old controllers who knew what Ercoupes were retire last year? Or is it just in the south east that the controllers don't know an Aircoupe from a Chevy Coupe?
