Today in PIT:

Rescue 123: "Ground, rescue 123, we just passed a fox running along echo here.

Ground: "Rescue 123, roger, let me know if it heads towards a runway."

Unknown aircraft: "Did you get her number?"

 

I heard a good one about a month ago. There was a long wait to get a clearance out of a releiver of MSP due to weather and we had a line at the end of the runway waiting:

Lear: lear N____ has some info for ya: 5839...2834...2804...3823 Experation 10/09
Tower: Say again?
Lear: Oh, you mean my visa card number isnt going to help speed this up?

 

In PHX today:

SWA: "Ground, SWA XXXX, ready to taxi to the conga line!"
Gd: "SWA XXXX, taxi to the end of the line via Echo, chicka chicka."
SWA (chuckling): Reads back clearance
(Pause)
Gd: "Did you get the 'chicka chicka'?"
SWA (laughing): "No, I guess we didn't"
Someone else: "Bom bom bom bom bom bom (conga beat)"

 

I hear this guy at PHL all the time... he's usually entertaining.

haha i love atc... if it wasn't for this whole being addicted to flying thing, i'd be right up there in the tower with em.

 

plasticpi-
I merged your thread to join the existing one that has been going on for a LONG time so they can live together as one happy family

 

I heard a female pilot ask the controller if her transmission was a little fuzzy. Some unknown pilot responded with, "That depends on how old you are".

Another one I heard was a pilot asking for a direct routing through a MOA which sounded like a womans name, something like candy moa. The controller responded by saying candy is hot, and not allowing any penetrations. Some pilot responded with "I think I used to date her"

And the last one I heard was while talking to Kansas City Center, they were very busy. Some airline pilot thought he was on the aircraft intercom giving the cabin brief, thanks for flying with us, we will be turning off the seat belt sign, and begin beverage service, ect. After blocking centers freq for a good minute and a half, he shut up. All the pilots on the freq began placing their drink orders, I'll have a double vodka on the rocks, ect. It was hillarious. Finally the guilty pilot responded with a simple oops.

 

Taxiing by an Eagle sitting in the Penalty Box at ORD the other day, I noticed a "For Sale" sign propped up in the Captain's windscreen. We gave 'em a thumbs up...Priceless!

 

SFO a few days ago:

Ground: Contact tower 120.5 crossing the runway.

American Airlines: We'll give 'em a call other side. Merry Christmas. Hope Santa brings you lots of good stuff.

Ground: Yea Ho Ho... Switch to tower ( in a depressed sarcasm)

Probably had to be there but after 5 legs and two to go it was the funniest thing going.

 

While back descending inbound a CA told me to "dare him..."

"What?"

"Just say you dare me."

"OoooooKaaaaee. I dare you."

Takes off his headset, removes the mic cover and cracks a really loud one on comm 1 over approach frequency. I was laughing all the way through the landing (my leg).


'nother guy had one of those little digital recorders... ground stop in ATL if I remember. Some mainline was whining about something over the freq, so he recorded a choice bit from the cockpit speaker and played it back on ground over comm 1. I was rolling again.


There was a really annoying bump on one of the bridges in PHX- couldn't grease it no matter what ya did. So the one CA clicked the pax mic, "boingggg" as we went over...
