Get invited to all the parties I want to attend, thank you. Just at a point in my life where sexual and racist humor is no longer funny. In some circles it's called "maturity".

But everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I've got no complaints if you want to look and laugh. The reason for my posting was so that others of my mindset would not waste their time. Of course, I am sure it made others of your mindset more likely to click on the link!

Happy flying.....

Heard this the other day in Fort Pierce:

FPR Tower: "Duchess XXX get off the runway."
Duchess: (Very strong Indian accent) "Tower! I'm lost, I need vectors to Aviator's Ramp!"

The last one reminded me of one from a while back at Ellington Field...

N12345 is a Delta Connection Academy 172 doing touch and goes on runway 4.
Nasa 901 is a NASA T-38 inbound for 4.

Tower: Cessna 345, start your crosswind turn now, please, T-38 on short final.

(pause)

Tower: Cessna 345, Ellington tower, start your turn now.

(pause)

Tower: Nasa 901, go around.

Nasa 901 acknowledges.

Tower: Cessna 345, Ellington tower, how do you hear?

(puase)

Tower: Nasa 901, make right traffic runway 4, cleared to land.

Tower: Cessna 345, if you hear ellington tower, ident.

Cessna 345: (instructor talking) Tower, Cessna 345, we heard you we were just not at a safe altitude yet.

Ellington Tower: Cessna 345, make right traffic runway 22, cleared for a full stop landing only, and call ellington tower on 123.45 when you are clear of the runway. (you can hear the smoke coming out of her ears at this point.)

I almost died many times time-building with scary-ben ::shudders::

Wish I could have heard that!

not sure I totally understand the last situation, no plane on the runway, why couldnt the Nasa plane land? From the instructor standpoint, I would have acknowledged the call regardless of altitude, and I have no fear of turning Xwind despite alt so not sure what that guy's prob was either.

The conflict I guess was that you have a cessna going 70 knots in the go around path of an airplane that goes significantly faster than that. I don't know their rules there, either, but I can see how a cessna 300 feet over a runway could be a problem for a T-38 landing, purely for the go-around conflict.

i promise this will be last post in this thread about this topic as I definately do not want to take away from the humor intended of this thread. but if there was a go around conflict, then why did the tower tell the 38 to go around? also if there was a conflict then tower kinda messed up right? letting a jet get that close to a cessna?

again, not trying to start a hijack on this wonderful thread, so if there are any other comments on this issue, we will take them to PM...

I am actually curious on that one too.

On a side note, good posts. Keep them coming!

Awhile back our USAF unit was the 19th Fighter Sqdrn, aka "The Gamecocks". While flying a 4 ship of F-16's thru Cleveland center's airspace, the following transmissions happened on initial check-in:

"Cleveland, C ock 01 at FL 390."

ATC: Silence.

"Cleveland, C ock 01 at 390."

ATC: Nothing. Crickets.

Tried twice more. Dead silence.

Finally, a male controller comes on--laughing--and says "C ock 01 contact Chicago on 257.1...oh, and give us a call when you land at the following phone #. You C ocks have a good day..."

Turns out the female controller on duty would not respond to such a non-politically correct call sign. By the time we landed the base General had already talked to center, told the offended female to "get her mind out of the gutter", and explained that the call sign had been in use by our squadron since WW I...
