Nice Radio calls....

[hyper]

First check in with approach if the atis is juliet, I'll give 'em "XXX approach, XXX 5,000ft., I have juliet.........and I think she likes it"
Usually gets a chuckle.

I almost got fired years ago working for a satellite company. I was out in the field working in Alice, TX. when I called one of our work order operators to get an update and told her "I'm in Alice............and I think she likes it." She got jacked and reported me. Ever since then, I've tried to put that spin on when the opportunity presents itself.

Funny stuff

I heard about this one but can not verify it. It most like ly is not true, but it sounds funny anyway. A Delta MD-11 inbound to DFW is told to slow to 210 knots while still a good distance from the field. The Captain is doing the radio work and acknowledges.
A minute goes by and then -

DFW APP: Delta XXX reduce speed to 180.

DAL: (reluctantly) Uh, roger, 180 knots.

A minute later...

DFW APP: Delta XXX reduce speed now to 150.

DAL: Sir, do you know what the stalling speed of this aircraft is?

DFW APP: Uh, no sir, but if you ask your First Officer I'm sure
he'll tell you!

my story

I was flying into PWM (Portland, ME) in a C150 and was told by the controllers to slow down, I was overtaking a C182 on a 5 mile final. I guess you don't hear that everyday.

AA 1423 :"Ah,center,American 1423,do you have any ride reports ?"

UAL470:"Well...My captain is eating and he's stabbed his self with his fork three times".

CTR:"Northwest 880,how's your ride at two-nine-oh ?"

NWA880:"I dunno....we haven't ate yet...".

ON FINAL TO BOS 4R. I CHECKED IN KAP59 EIGHT OUT FOR THE RIGHT.

FEMALE CONTROLER, I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY, KAP59 CLEARED TO LAND 4R

THEN OF COURSE THE INFAMOUS TIME I LINED UP BEHIND THE F-100.

I WAS WARNED ABOUT THE FOKKER, AND JET BLAST.

I RESPONDED, THANKS GROUND, I SEE THE SPLIT TAIL JET.

THE CAPT. OF THE FOKKER WAS NOT PLEASED. I DIDN'T MEAN TO INSULT HER AT ALL.


OOOPS

Hi!

Here's 2:

I used to fly in an AF unit and our call sign was "Beaver", followed by the last two numbers of our tail number. One of our aircraft ended with the numbers "69". As you might expect, we had a lot of interesting radio exchanges. Also, our base was "Beaver Lodge" and our fellow unit's was "Beaver Dam".

At Vance AFB-pilot training for AF:

A female instructor was flying with a male student in a T-38. The instructor sits in the back. While getting ready for an approach, the instructor decided to fly one, and instead of telling her student on intercom, she accidently broadcast on the ATC frequency, in her high-pitched, obviously female voice: "I'll take this one in the rear."

I heard an ATA 727 reply (after being cleared for takeoff); "cleared for torture"

I heard a navy tower controler at miramar in san diego reply to a couple fighters (who'd announced an overhead break to downwind) with, "rachaaaah".

Someone above mentioned an approach controller at miami. about ten years ago there was a tower controler at miami who used to work the afternoon rush and who sounded just like an auctioneer biding a product - it was unreal.

an united 767 at lindbergh, when cleared into position to hold replied; "assuming the position"

a caravan guys been saying "bigbad dude charlie alpha" instead of his regular call sign.

United 150, Center, say airspeed

Center, United 150, .79

United 150, why are you going so fast?

Because it's the last leg of a four day trip and she won't do .80
