+== "Pops?": Father And Daughter Pilots In US Cross Paths On Airport Radio, Their Exchange Wins Hearts ==
+While Kent was communicating with air traffic control, he suddenly heard a familiar voice come through the headset.

+A routine day at the airport turned into a sweet family moment when a father and daughter, both commercial pilots, unexpectedly found themselves on the same radio frequency at Washington Dulles International Airport. The moment happened on September 1, when Kent Katnik was preparing to take off as the pilot of United Airlines Flight 108. Nearby, his daughter Kenny Katnik was also getting ready for departure, flying CommutAir Flight 4977 for United Express.
+While Kent was communicating with air traffic control, he suddenly heard a familiar voice come through the headset. His daughter had recognised her father and greeted him with a quick, affectionate call. Kent immediately realised who was speaking and asked where she was. Kenny told him she was holding on Runway 1R, just nearby and ready to depart.
+The interaction then took a humorous turn when the air traffic controller asked Kent whether he was a proud father of a pilot daughter. Kent gave a playful response before the conversation shifted to Kenny's living arrangements.
