Guest drizzt1978 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Some times I have a giggle at things i would like to say on the radio: But never will... Give me your best examples: Pilot: "Im 5x5 in the pipe and ready to rock and roll!" Co pilot (passenger) "Roger that I'm pickin up a little Hull Ionisation....." Straight out Aliens Makes me giggle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylon500 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 How about; Tower; "Please report height and position?" Pilot; "I'm 5 foot 10 and sitting up front!" Actually, one I did hear back in my gliding days; Someone out on a task in week lift radioed back to, "I don't think I'm going to make it." Five minutes later he calls, "I cant find any lift." Another five minutes and he calls, "I think I'm going down." With other pilots trying to make calls about locations and os on, the contest director, A Woman grabbed a microphone and called back; "Shut up and die like a man!" True story, WA state comps, Cunderdin, about 1980. Arthur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pelorus32 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 On MEL Centre one day driving along enjoying the day when a very attractive sounding female voice comes up: "Melbourne Centre, Virgin 658..."

facthunter Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 earlier liason. I am reminded of the one where the poor pilot taxies incorrectly, and ends up facing another biggie and the female controller gives him hell and massively berates him. When she finishes, he quietly says, You're not my ex-wife are you, by any chance?... N.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPete Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 My favourite: 747 Captain to a small LSA aircraft (who was waiting for the 747 to exit the runway). "That's a nice little aeroplane, (in a very condecending tone) did you make it yourself." "Yes" replied the small craft, "I built it myself from old wrecks, another landing like your last and I'll have enough bits for two more!" Love it. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilby54 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Taxying out at Adelaide many years back in a single with a big bunch of heavies behind and we asked by ground to pull over to let them all take off. A very American sounding voice said "Ah that's what it was! I thought it was a bug on the windshield!" After several had taken off, another rolled past and asked "Did the Mortein get ya?"

Guest ozzie Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 an oldie but a goodie In the sixties a Pan Am 707 cpt just landed at Berlin and asked for clarification of taxiing instructions from the runway to the ramp. the controller gruffly asked if the pilot had been to Berlin before. The pilot responded with 'Yes, in 1944 but it was night and we did not stop'. Ozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Last Christmas morning my wife and I were tracking down the far south coast of the mainland on our way to Launceston. The air waves were dead quiet so I called ML CEN for a radio check ... "Melbourne, this is CTxxxx. Radio check". "You're all 5s" came the reply. "That's good, I was getting a bit anxious as I could hear none of the usual chatter." to which he replied "Yeah, sound good doesn't it, Merry Christmas".

Orienteer Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I was working in Ireland earlier this year as a coordinator in the back of a Dash8 doing Survey Ops out of Galway airport. Galway airport has several "Tea Breaks" during their day which closes the airport down for about an hour 3 times a day. I was conversing with the pilots about our fuel loading and the remaining time on task we'd have - they said about 2 hours which would take us past the closing time on the NOTAM. Though experience showed these closing times followed the appetite of the Controller, and not the NOTAM. So the 1st Officer radioed in for a clarification on the closing time. The nice Irish Controller had advised they'll close in about and hour. The FO radioed again to confirm the re-opening time. There was a bit of dead air then "Oh we might not open again tonight - bit tired." There led a stunned silence from me as a rookie Coordinator, then a quite shaky word to the pilots over the intercom - "Perhaps we'd better go home then." Time passed a bit and then across the radio "Nah, we'll come back for ya." The Controller had us (more specifically - had me), the pilots gave a good chuckle as i looked a little sheepish down the back. I never thought that ATC could have a sense of humour. Mind you - this was the same controller that was trying to sell us his daughter a couple of days later. The Irish were a fun lot to work with.

Orienteer Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I have always wanted to slotted in No 2 to an RPT so I could say " yes I have the fockker insight" It hasnt happened yet I had the pleasure of spending too much time operating out of Karratha Airport. A daily visitor there was a Fokker 100 with rego VH-FKD. Which we dubbed the obvious. Later that deployment i got the even greater pleasure of travelling hom on said Fokker. I sent one of my matesi was working with a SMS with exciting news which he replied "Fokking Fantastic." My giggles were a source of amusement for fellow pax at the gate.

Guest ROM Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 In the early 1980's, groups of Japanese glider pilots were regularly operating out of Waikerie. When a bunch of them were airborne, it was impossible to get a word in edgewise on the glider frequencies as they just went on and on non stop. One of our guys flying out of Horsham was getting really frustrated as he tried to contact a couple of other gliders. Finally, when a gap appeared in the non stop stream of japanese verbiage he used the only two japanese words he knew; HIROSHIMA, NAGASAKI !! Dead silence from the japanese for the next half hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 The Shorts were commonly referred to as "Sheds" , no prizes for guessing why !.

BigPete Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 How about the Luftansa pilot who was on the ground (in Berlin) talking to the control tower (on the radio) complaining bitterly that as he was a German pilot, in a German aircraft at a German airport talking to a German in a German control tower, why did they have to use english. Their conversation was interupted by another pilot with a very posh British accent who said..
