Hah! You wan't a flying story, I got a flying story.
Last week, I'm taxiing out after getting all the yadda yadda yadda done. You know, all that cool guy pilot stuff like making sure the desired oil quantity is inside the engine and that the dipstick is latched, cargo doors locked, ATIS, IFR clearance, taxi clearance, Joan Jett playing on the Avidyne, monitor tower. Just your typical freight dog kinda day.
When all the sudden, Captain Bozo from Northwest chimes in on tower after being handed off from approach...
CA Bozo: "Hey, I don't know if anybody told you guys, but the PAPI is out on 7 left."
Tower: "Hey, I don't know if you noticed it, but the PAPI out of service is in the ATIS Romeo."
CA Bozo: "Oh, I don't think we got that one...we must have KEE-BECK, thank you!"
Tower: "You're welcome."
CA Bozo: "Rodger dodger."
Tower: "Toodles."
CA Bozo: "Yabba dabba doo!"
I fought the urge to use "dude" in the next communication I had with tower...
