It's "Sierra"... not "Sugar"

[SiuDude]

i've heard this used on memphis center before by controllers. I was surprised at first but someone told me that near atlanta they use Dixie versus Delta to avoid confusion with Delta aircraft while taxiing etc....
No idea about sugar....probably a southern thing.

Unlike the other examples here, Dixie at ATL is actually charted as "Dixie" on the airport diagram.

There's a bank in KC that flies a Citation of some sort with the tail number ending in "CB". They always refer to themselves as "Citation 123 Charlie Brown".

I heard a guy flying a Piaggio (Avantair, perhaps?) use "sugar lobster" the other day. No kidding. He was at the FBO front counter next to me asking for fuel. I started laughing and couldn't stop. I almost felt bad for the guy.

I have never ever heard this used. Maybe that's because I'm always on Uniform freqs...


And "on the contrary" isn't the proper term to use here. Maybe "additionally" would have fit better.

That's all from Captain Grammar!

Wasn't sugar the phonetic for S way, way back?
