I've just finished reading this entire thread. It took me nearly a week, reading a few pages every day.

As funny as this stuff is, I'm a quite new student and its also extremely educational to see what works, what doesn't, and what you can get away with! There's also at least a few radio-conversations I don't get yet... clearly more to learn.

As this thread approaches 4 years, here's to hoping for another 4 years and and 90 pages of wit!

My personal best so far:
After landing with no guidance from instructor, and feeling quite full of my self, I pulled off first available, and made the call:
"Cessna 52139, to taxi to Wings Aloft at.... ****, where the hell am i?"

Instructor cracked up... then finished my call. I was at Alpha-5.
