Coast Guard COMSTA Kodiak, Alaska coming in surprisingly well this afternoon on
8983 calling Coast Guard aircraft 6006 which seems a bit odd as the WUN site has
6006 homeplate as Mobile, Alabama.

An aircraft's HOMEPLATE is merely that aircraft's "home" airfield,
which is not necessarily the one from which it is operating.

Hmmm...first you replied with this:

No kidding... still a bit odd as the homeplate is GENERALLY where it does operate
from. And the fact that Kodiak was trying to communicate with them simply indicates
that a change may have taken place which is not currently listed on WUN.

That might have gotten you somewhere, but then you had to duck into a
phone booth, turn into Super Jerk, and come out with:

I just love it when the debutantes think they are telling me something they think I
don't know!

Very well, Mr. Know-It-All, go ahead and stay stupid, and excuse me
for trying to help. You can now go try to figure out for yourself why
CG 6006 is operating from AIRSTA Sitka instead of ATC Mobile where it
is homeplated, because I'm sure not going to tell you. Oh, and welcome
to my killfile, which is already so loaded with mouthy, condescending
jerks such as yourself that one more won't even be noticed.
