I'm surprised no one has mentioned the tower controller at Charlottesville, VA.
He always says 'runaway'...
"Runway 3, cleared for takeoff, fly the RUNAWAY heading!"
Hahaha, I inquired if the heading got away from him?
Is the guy that sounds just like Paul Harvey on the radio still working in the tower at CLT? It absolutely cracked me up the first time I heard him on the tower freq...
Who's your favorite ATC facility?
The chick who is in the Traverse City Tower sounds mighty hott.
Anybody ever seen any of the female controllers that sound good looking?
Call me biased, but I gotta go for JFK Tracon/Tower.
"Turkish 2 Heavy, can you increase your rate of climb at all.......I mean this is just horrendous."
"Delta 80 Heavy follow the Turk, monitor tower 123.90."
"Speedbird 176 Heavy follow Delta, monitor tower."
"American 44 Heavy follow the Brit, monitor tower"
(After a missed radio call on busy freq.)

"Comair 569, do you have enough room to get by Saudi?"
"Affirmative"
"Good sir, can you get by him and rejoin taxiway bravo?? I really need someone who knows this airport leading the pack. Can you do that for me?"
(After second missed radio call in under 2 minuters on extremely busy freq.)
