Just realized my old car radio picks up aircraft chatter

Last Tuesday I was driving home from work around 3am and my FM radio started picking up these weird bursts of static. I fiddled with the dial and landed on what sounded like pilots talking to a tower, clear as day. Turns out my 2005 Honda Civic has an unshielded head unit that catches air band frequencies above the normal FM range. I checked online and there's a whole rabbit hole of people modding radios to hear ATC. Has anyone else accidentally stumbled onto something like this just by pressing buttons at the wrong time?

Wow, did you report it to the FCC or is that just for listening?
