24-year-old pilot Kenny Katnik was listening when she suddenly recognized the voice of her father, Kent, on the radio.

“Pops, is that you?”

What followed was a pretty great father-daughter exchange, including a question about whether Kent was proud of his daughter.

His answer? “Sort of.”

And somehow, the conversation eventually turned to their cell phone plan.
