My favorate thing to say on the radio

[jsoceanlord]

when f-14s would report overhead on the left break (turning to downwind), this one controler, instead of saying roger, would say;
"rotchaghhhhhhhhhhhh"

There was this one approach controller in Melbourne, Florida...I'm headed that way close to 11:00 p.m. on a Sunday night...

Me: "Approach, Cherokee Three-One-Victor, three thousand with Kilo."

MLB Approach: "Three-One-Victor, cleared for the visual, cleared to land, taxi to the ramp with me, g'night."

From the urban legend archives:

Atlanta Center (broadcasting VHF and UHF): "Delta 326, how's your ride today at 310?"

Eagle 1, an F-15 (UHF only): "Atlanta center, Eagle 1, tell Delta 326 the ride's just fine at 450."

Atlanta Center: "Delta 326, Eagle 1 advises that the ride is fine at 450."

Atlanta Center: "(pause) ....Delta 326, go ahead......(pause)..............Roger Delta 326. Eagle 1, Delta 326 wants to know how the pay is at 450."

From my airplane: T-38 student instrument sortie, my student's under the "bag" checking in for a PAR.

Very sexy sounding female controller: "Talon 25, this is your student controller, how do you hear me?"

my Rico Suave student: "Student controller, this is your student pilot. You sound just fine, just fine."

[He then flew a crappy PAR and tried to blame it on being "distracted." Uh huh.]

Subtle but funny to me, the airport I fly out of just got atis and insist to end every atis Echo with "...when contacting tower or ground report you have information echo... echo."

CVG??

No one mentioned the controllers out of CVG -- ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE CLOCK. Great group to work with!!

Additionally, I even know who you are talking about at TOL....used to fly w/ many guys who would just listen during that ride back home.

And anyone know the "Atis Nazi" out of Chicago Approach? You know the one.....clear & a million...atis changes 1 minute ago and everyone checking in has information Romeo. He requires that you obtain Sierra and call him back!!

The other day Chicago approach were having fun with us:

ATC: [callsign] you guys late? (We flew an extra segment and came in 4 hours later than normal -- making it DAY)

US: No. Flew an extra segment.

ATC: MDW, 11 O'clock, 9 miles

US: Looking

ATC: Look for the pavement, not the black area surrounded by lights.

(Those of you flying exclusively on the backside will see the humor.....)

Dandy Day

On a flight from DEN to FMN about 3 years ago, got the hand off to 24.35 and heard "Dandy Day" telling someone he was going home in 30 min and going to have himself a beer.

My Cpt check on "Dont leave yet, Lakes is checkin on at 240"

Dandy Day "Well scence your here Lakes I guess I'll drink at the TRACON"


ABQ Center : Cactus 123 Climb and maintain 290

ABQ: Cactus 123 Climb and maintain 290

ABQ: Cactus 123 how do you hear

ABQ: Cactus 123

ABQ: CACTUS 123

ABQ: C A C T U S 1.. 2.. 3..

Cactus 123: Go ahead

ABQ: Cacus 123 climb and maintain 290, that was the SEVENTH time Ive called you

Cactus 123: 290 and that was the first time we heard you

Lakes xxx: In youre defense Cactus, Center only called you SIX times

Checking in with NYC approach one afternoon many years ago. I was about 10 south of the airport, over the ocean.

Me: Kennedy tower, Lifeguard helicopter XXX, 10 miles south, 500', midfield transition northbound for White Plains, Foxtrot.

Kennedy tower: Lifeguard helo XXX, Kennedy tower, roger.....uhhhh.....500' AGL or MSL?

 

[dualrated]

I heard this on center freq a few years ago:

MEM CTR: Southwest 571, contact Ft Worth Center on 133.5-- have a good one.

SW571: Roger 133.5-- got a good one, need a big one.

I thought it was hilarious. The old man I was flying co-pilot for failed to see the humor...

Told to me by a buddy in a recent ground school....

"United xxx looking for a shortcut" (in a young female voice)

An anonymous aircraft responds-

"Honey, you've been taking shortcuts your whole life."

 

[Vardog]

This is great

it has been fun to see aviators having fun with this forum

 

[CHQ Cpt]

... TK in IND TWR/APP rocks (sounds like he smokes 2 packs a day, he does, and can move metal)...


ATC: Airline 123, can you expedite the descent?

Airline 123: Roger, we'll come down like a Bonanza fulla docs.

LGA any time there's a long line and everyone is stepping over everyone. Once there's a break it goes like this:

OK, AAxxx is one, UALxxx is two, Cal xxx is three, and so on for about 50 or 60 folks...

I remember hearing this as a FlightSafety Academy dweeb:

US611: "Jax Center, U-S-Air Six-Eleven with you at three-one-oh."

Unknown: "U-S-Air calling, you're on Pahokee unicom."

US611: "So many numbers, so little time."
