I was up about two weeks ago on a slow day and the controller said:
"Piper 699, traffic 2 o'clock, 5 miles, a flying warehouse with a T tail." (He was referring to a C-17 Globemaster)
Now, I won't say WHO said it, but this really did happen.
In Denver. (where the controllers are always cool.)
Right about the time everyone was quoting from "Meet the Parents."
Denver: "Lakes Air, you're following an F100, two mile final, for runway 36R"
Lakes: "Uh, yep, got the Fokker in sight. Aaaand I believe that's Martha flying it today. HMM, whatever, we're following that Martha flying Fokker."
Pause
Denver: "Are you a pothead, Fokker? HMM,whatever, Lakes Air cleared for the visual runway 36R behind Martha and her Fokker."
thanks for the laugh, that is hysterical!! martha flying fokker....
denver guys are great. but, i really love the guy in houston that always says "jetlincoln xxx" instead of jetlink for continental express.
How about Denver center's "have a daannnnnddy day!"
I asked for direct telluride once, and he asked me a trivia question about green acres (tv show)! I didn't know the answer but he cleared me direct anyway, and then told me the answer as I came back out.
Of course the radios aren't exactly busy over central CO...
