My favorate thing to say on the radio

[328dude]

She's very married. Sorry.


Im sure you guys have heard that electronic ATIS voice at some airports. Last year in PIT after the Steelers lost to the Patriots, he spewed out the ATIS and at the end of it it said "Congratulations New England Patriots, you suck". Funny as all get out. Anybody else hear that?

 

[aviatrix]

AHPilot,

I'm sure that with 80 hours you haven't been around too many ATC facilities, but more often than not, there's no bombshell on the other end of that frequency. Sorry to burst your bubble......seems you really have a fascination with it!
Most weigh more than your plane!

 

[Birddog]

I think most Air Willy and Skyway guys know "Roger" who works Chicago Center. Not only does he know everybody, but he can give you a vector to an airport 150 miles away and hit it right on the money. We need more like him.

 

[dsee8driver]

-Toledo approach...late night...y'all know who I'm talkin' 'bout.
Oh yeah! I get all flustered everytime I try to talk to her on the radio. Gotta be THE sexiest voice I've ever heard. And she'll play along with pretty much anything

Gotta be talking about "Breathless" Rooooggggeeerr! "Can you make it can you make it" She asks. "Sure, we say" and she whispers " Coooool"...

Wakes you UP at 0300!

I once heard the girl at Addison, TX reading the ATIS and she described a crane near the airport as "a crane on the north end of the airport standing 85 feet ERECT!" in her sexiest 900 voice. Everyone was laughiing as they were reporting that they had the current ATIS.

My little brother used to instruct at Addison...he said they referred to this gal as "1-900-HOT-ATIS." Don't know what she looks like...and maybe I don't want to know. I've got a pretty entertaining picture in my head...hate to spoil it.


I'm ashamed to admit I said this one day:

Comair: "Tower, Comair ___, we're still hanging out into the runway. Can you have the Fokker in front of us move up a little?"

Me: "Which fokker, the one in the M-D-Eighty of the one in the F-One-Hundred?"

[All together now: groan!]

 

[bart]

I am flying to ADS on Tuesday, I hope she is working that day... I don't want to know what she looks like, my imagination does just fine. I also love talking with the gals on Shaw Approach over SC, they sound so young and cute.

BTW, I have heard Mr Atis in MIA... I answered my freq switch with a pretty good impression of him anyway the CPT thought it was funny.

 

[fulcrum]

once upon a time @ DWH while practicing touch and goes , this one particular 152 was @ 1400' so the tower says
cessna XXXX------------------say altitude
so the cessan comes back------ " altitude "

cessna XXXX------------------ say altitude
so the cessan comes back again ------ " altitude "

this goes on a few times then the controller i t asks the guy to read the altimeter and tell him his height
man that was so funny .

 

[LR25]

Mr ATIS

To get Mr ATIS to mess up, you ask him to repeat a heading or altitude, he will come back in a normal voice, I cant help but have a big grin on my face when I am in his sector.

BTW, he is also a very good controller.

 

[Salty Dog]

Fresh from the AOPA facility directory as a public service to other curious ATIS voyeurs: ADS ATIS # is (972) 239-9776

It IS a 900 number!!!!!!!!!!!

Too bad it's some boring guy w/info Romeo right now. Maybe later....

 

[brew3departure]

Roger...

Birddog,

You stole my thunder with your last post - I'm reading what everyone has said and thinking "There's got to be someone who knows "Roger" from Chicago Center!"

We do indeed need more like him. Here's something funny I heard about a month ago:

(roger at Chicago Center): "Skywayex xxxx, welcome aboard, oshkosh altimer xx.xx"

"Midex xxx, good morning..."

etc etc... - anyway, just about everyone he talked to asked him a question, how his kids were, etc etc...

Anyways, after every pilot who checked on had a small conversation with Roger, a Mesaba pilot out of nowhere says "Hey, Chicago, do you know _everyone_ up here?"

Roger says "Well, almost."

Mesaba says "That's pretty cool!"

Put a smile on the Captain's face, mine too

Take care,
-Brew3

The sexy voice (Michelle) at ADS isn't there anymore, she's in Tulsa now. Sorry to disappoint y'all. However, one of the nicest controllers around (Stephanie) is at ADS, but her ATIS isn't as cool as when she's on local.

 

[gOOfly]

Here is another one.

SLC Clearance Delivery: "Cessna XXX, ready to copy clearance?"

Cessa XXX: (In a heavy southern twang) Yes siree, and you can give me that there clearance once REAL slow, ..... or three times fast it don't really matter to me.

 

[chawbein]

I like to yell TIMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! on the unicom at my local airport.

 

[pipers]

I read this one on the internet somewhere......

A British Airways boeing had just landed in Frankfurt and was stopped on the taxiway for a moment. Ground control started yelling at them and wanted to know why the were stopped....

BA: "We are figuring out the taxiway"
Ground: "Haven't you ever been here before?!?"
(In a heavy british accent...)
BA: "Yeah, but it was 1942, I was flying a different type of boeing and I didn't stop"

If its true, thats a classic.

 

[Ravengirl]

I don't know about that...

I'm in school for ATC right now, and I've got to tell you, most of the women are pretty d***ed cute. Haven't heard the worst things about myself, either.

Freddy Prietz(sp?) best controller I ever worked with. Retired from ATC now handles ramp tower at the D concourse at LAS. Heaviest New York accent you've ever heard, can't miss it. If you fly into LAS and park at "D" tell him hi. Anyways it was in the 70's, late at night, a PA-180 doing practice ILS 25 approaches in Vegas when a United DC-8 checks in. Freddy issues them a speed restriction, but they keep coming. A few minutes later he gives them another speed reduction to no avail. Finally, in the slowest, thickest New York accent you can imagine he says: "United, the number is 180, you can make it your airspeed or your heading, what's it going to be , Gentlemen?

I'm sure you have hung around in TONS of towers with your 1800 hours...**CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** isn't that like, more hours than chuck yeager had?

Anyone heard the guy on JAX center who gives everyone their frequency change and then says goodbye in a different language? ...132.15. sayonara! etc...

 

[AHPilot]

Ok, so we've established the cute controllers. Does me a lot of good flyin around...So where are all the cute lady instructors?

Stephanie

I don't mean to be disrespectful ma'am, but you're sort of opening the door to being hit on buy a bunch of pilots.... all I'll say is be careful what you wish for.

 

[Traumahawk]

TAMPA.......

If ya'll are wondering who the famous Tampa controller is, his name is Billy Burns I believe.

"United twelve seventy-four good day to ya but standby, november four fivah three go ahead sir, this is class bravo service here to serve you." -BB

Just tell him in the same voice "ya do good work etc..." and he'll go nuts.

Speaking of funny florida controllers....how about up @ Jax App....anyone know Aloha Bob?? "areeebaderche' etc... His buddy Shawn Fields is a riot too.

--T-hawk

P.S. Who all flies in Tampa?

 

[maverick_fp00]

I live in Panama City, Florida... but we are always taking trips down to St. Pete, Tampa, Orlando... as a matter of fact, that's why I'm up so early - getting ready for Orlando.

 

[ShawnC]

I live in Daytona but I am from Sarasota, so when I am flying there I deal with the Tampa Approach controllers.

 

[hyper]

Do TPA all the time as well.



JAX: "Goodmornin' Starcheck, radar coooooooooontact." I think they have a club there, bunch of the guys do that.

 

[ILLINI]

What about the approach/departure controllers at South Bend, IN? Those guys, as well as some pilots, are pretty funny!


Sssssssee YA!!!

It's almost like they have a contest as to who can say "See Ya" with the most oomph.

Good times!

 

[SSDD]

Until recently one of the controllers at the Salt Lake Tower used to say "suck" instead of "salt", as in: "Delta 1267, Suck Lake Ground taxi to RWY 34R." The PC police must have gotten to him 'cause he doesn't say it anymore.

 

[LrBob]

I was watching a stupid vw beetle commercial the other day-shows this guys working in a office everyday-pretty dreary-then it dawned on me how really cool our jobs are-cant beat life at 410

 

[Ravengirl]

TXCAP and FlyChicaga...

Yeah, I realize it's just opening a door for people to step through, my saying that...

...but really, like I'm going to sit by and let people generalize about how ugly and overweight I must be on account of my career choice. =P Come on.

*Stephanie*

 

[BlueVoodoo]

At our local FBO one of the rental 172s is affectionately referred to as the Jamaican Bobsled due to its colorful paint scheme. One day flying into BCT it caught the attention of one of the rampers...

Ramper: You here to pick up the president?

Me: What???

Ramper: Yeah, the president, isn't this corporate Cessna for Pollo Tropical?

Later that same day while taxiing to the ramp at FXE...

FXE Ground: Lear xxx follow the red..... and green.... and yellow... and black Cessna.

Lear xxx: Roger, following the calico Cessna

In my defense ma'am, I never generalized that - I know better!

 

[chuychanga]

A long time ago a Japan Airlines 747 was approaching Honolulu. Well, Honolulu International and Hickam Air Force Base share a common runway.

So every time the Japanese pilot talks, he addresses them as "Hickam Approach,..." or "Japan xxx inbound to Hickam..." etc... Finally, approach kindly asked the guy to verify he was coming to Honolulu International. The dude responded, "Affirmative, but Hickam is easier to say than Honoruru."

Another favorite of mine is when depature tells a guy to squawk VFR and he replies with, "Okay, a dozen in the box for 13G."
