Wasn’t this movie made with updated remakes for some 20 years ago?

It's amazing how the "keep it professional" crowd (the ones who aren't themselves trolling back) allow themselves to be baited time and again and never realize it. Some people love to smell their own gas, I guess.

Also, to whom it may concern:

When there's a legitimate safety reason (like someone calling midfield downwind on Guard), please address the caller in some specific way, not just with "you're on guard!".

The guy talking on the wrong frequency is not aware he's on the wrong frequency, you have to grab his/her attention with something specific.

(This should be common sense, but what do I know).

The other day on guard we heard the following from a Pt. 135 aircraft:

"(Insert FBO name here), (call sign) in range. Need five thousand pounds Jet A positive...and like, uh, a hazmat cleaning team. We have a two year old passenger who pooped all over the cabin. Like everywhere."

And we airline guys think *we* have anything to complain about 😅

I honestly think a lot of these 135 in range calls are just frequency bleed over. I know that isn't your point but then the guard dogs try to correct them and they probably can't hear them.

They're pretty 5 by 5 for bleed-over. Unless those guys just have bad radios?
