Nomination: 2006 Tool of the Year

[SMOE]

Flying into EWR today behind Air Shuttle 7322. NY Approach calls traffic to 7322. The response was, "tallyho on the bandit." That makes me want to consider a ground job...

 

[Say Again Over]

If things like that get you excited maybe you should consider a nice relaxing job on the ground.

 

[LXJ31]

Maybe so, but it is still pretty fruity. At least he didn't throw in a "Ten-four good buddy."

 

[Flying Illini]

Who is Air Shuttle?

 

[Say Again Over]

Typical military jargon, what's the big deal.

 

[Say Again Over]

You experts on radio phraseology need to get around the world, most of you don't have a clue.

 

[LXJ31]

I'll bet he switched to guns because he was too close for missiles as well.

 

[sky37d]

Guns are always better, you can see the sucker real well when you hose him.

 

[Brett Hull]

Who is Air Shuttle?

Mesa.

 

[SkyBoy1981]

Was the traffic an E110? That is generally referred to as a "bandit". Otherwise I agree, it was a cheesy remark.

Crap like that gives Mesa a bad rap....arggg....

How embarrassing...

 

[Metro752]

He's got tone!

I didn't get me excited, it made me embarassed to be a pilot...

 

[b747dogg]

Gutsiest move i've ever seen!!! He's dangerous.

 

[SMOE]

Typical military (fighter pilot) jargon is fine if that is what you are and what your doing, otherwise, you are what we referred to in Spec Ops as a Strap Hangar.

 

[414Flyer]

Well he probably shaves with a Mach 3, so therefore he thinks he should use military jargon

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Same with the wind breaker jackets.....

 

[G2T]

He's got tone!

That's the 9:35 out of Tampa!

Anyway, I've heard stupid things on the radio from just about every airline out there, and a few from contollers too. I usually laugh a little and move on, because there is a chance I could get tongue tied and sound like a goon next time I push the button and open my mouth. My favorite is not the military comments, but when people talk like they are on a CB driving their 18 wheeler saying 10-4 or asking what someone's 20 is.

 

[CA1900]

That's the 9:35 out of Tampa!

Argh! You beat me to it! Hehe... I love that skit.


"You can be my wingman anytime!"

"Yeah... great... whatever."

 

[Occam's Razor]

Then there are those of us who use military jargon just to drive others crazy...

"What's the angels on that traffic?"
"We've got him on our gadget"

 

[Cardinal]

Could the traffic have been an E-110?

 

[bizicmo]

How dare someone have fun at their job!

 

[Ill Mitch]

How dare someone have fun at their job!

It's not allowed. It is in the Ops Spec.

 

[Fury220]

No way, dude. "TallyHo on the bandit" just makes you sound like an @$$ clown on Victor.

BTW, here's the definition of "BANDIT:"

BANDIT - Known enemy aircraft and type ordnance capability, if known.

If sounding like an idiot is "your idea of fun, Mav," then go ahead. MY idea of fun would, therefore, be making fun of you over 6 to 9 beers at the bar that evening.

These threads are pretty much always hilarious...

Hoo Raaah and Ditto...

Yeah.. there's so many non-pilots listening to ATC....




Annnnnnd PeanuckleCRJ, out.

 

[PCL_128]

Yeah, that's all well and good, but Mesa isn't the military. Time to drop the military jargon.

 

[Traumahawk]

...Mesa isn't the military. Time to drop the military jargon.

Folks...the PFT police have spoken. Next radio offense is 6-10 months at Gulfstream.

 

[pgcfii2002]

Pick Me...pick Me!!!
