Lol DONALD!!! he gives the best lav service jobs ive ever seen....and whenever we need a bug wash....he sprays smiliey faces on the windows....he really really loves his job

Flying at 0-dark-thirty every moring, it was a guy in Florence SC Approach. Just prior to hand off, he always said, "WAKE UP!"

Not sure why.......... ;)

:confused:

When I was a ramp controller, we had to evacuate the tower (and entire concourse) due to a fire. I broadcast to all the aircraft that were waiting to park (we had already shut down 5 mins earlier) that the tower was being evacuated and to contact Delta ramp control for instructions, etc. Just before I took my headset off I heard "Is that a joke?"

TULSA APPROACH girl thinks shes a phone sex operator.... all sweet and sexy, til a girl calls in...voice totally changes

And one controller formally known as GIRLFRIEND from Philly Northeast tower who is now at PHL......... always known for "55u WHERE YOU AT"

Dude, he is the worst, he rips all the doughnuts out of the planes so then you have to call maintenance to get them replaced, it's nice taking a 30 min delay because donald wasn't happy with the condition of the doughnut.

Absolutely! The best one around, I totally agree.

Jimmy is the man in CLT! He is the only one that can keep the north ramp moving and knows a lot of us that go in and out of there. Good guy to work with and shoot the ____ with.

Funniest controller I've ever heard was Chicago center a few months ago. Say "iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnndicated airspeed" "contact miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiineapolis center, miiiiiiiiiiineapolis"

cant fault him for taking his poop seriously :p

Those guys up in Canada always crack me up. Always have to have the last word. Just try and get in one last word. "Roger!"

When you hand off just say "bon jour" in the most southern sounding accent. They get a kick out of it.

Holy crap!!! I thought I was the only one who noticed that. You are right, that Southern draw gets me everytime..:)

That's what we call an unmanned frequency

One of the tower ladies at KADS always sounds like she's flirting when she talks. She has a sweet voice and never gets mad/stressed out. Someone declares and emergency and she says "I'll have a blueberry pie ready for you when you get back on the ground."

She controls at Oshkosh every summer too.

lax south ground girl sounds hot!... lax united ramp control lady sounds like a dragon, and yells at you when you remind her that she forgot about you,

Definitely frank in LGA.

"Confirm thats FL230 10 minutes after departure?"

Reminds me of someone I flew with. She would carry one like normal till she got on the radio and the Southern Belle came right out.

What about the "Good One Girl" in LGA tower!!!!!

I try to keep all those Piedmont Lav Service card that Donald loves to hand out, gives me a real kick.

Mr. Ramp at PHL is waaaay too into his job. But he's still better then Mrs. Cleo at LGA "Tuck up, good one"

Listen closely and you'll hear the Mrs. Cleo in her voice, its wonderful.

The female controllers at LGA have an absolutely amazing knack for mucking up the entire traffic flow within minutes of starting their shift.

Absolutely!! And not to forget his "SQUUUUUUAAAAAWWWWWK....." on the clearance delevery. Laughed every time!

No doubt! He does it all.....north ramp tower, throws bags, catering, etc.!

I love that guy! I asked him about that and he told me because he was set to retire on X-mas 07.

MIA Tower/Ground girl. The chick who sounds like she has braces still.

On the flip side. IND.

One other plane in the pattern and you end up with vectors to a 20 mile final. Or my favorite, coming in from the south, for a visual to 5L while crossing paths with traffic for 5R coming in from the north. Made tons of sense to me.

Don't bother saying "good morning" or anything like that to them, they just respond with an angry sounding "roger".

That's because your plane isn't purple.

I love that guy! I heard him for the first time the other day when I was out in that area and I almost couldn't respond to him I was laughing so hard.

I ride over here from STL all the time and those guys complain about them as much as we do.

Yea...she sounds hot.........! Always wanted to go up there and see her but then again I don't want to reck the image I have of her in my mind if she turns out to be..........? The lady on ramp sounds like she has to smoke at least a carton of smokes a day and is in her early hundreds.

Has Roger finaly retired? I miss talking to him.... and getting his precision vectors to final. Great guy, ........ met him at Oshkosh a few years back!
On a side note.....I used to love talking to the MSP center guys in the middle of the night durning my cargo days. Great group of folks up there!

There was (is still) a KJFK local controller that responded to a pilots '(call sign) request' with:

"(callsign) has a request, well, as long as it not a show tune, go ahead."

Professional, yet doesn't take him/herself too seriously...

Ah, Franklin. I miss him...

"Colgan 5024, Cleared to Norfolk, LaGardia (sic) Niner Departure witha Whitestone Climb..."

No one has mentioned IAH, yet.

IAH Tower...we had Happy Richard. No matter how bad a day it was, he was always in a good mood and always made you smile. I think he just retired a few months ago. Great guy.

IAH Approach...Axe! Everybody that's ever flown in and out of IAH has had to have talked to Axe. You'd know him better as the Jetlincoln guy.

He had the greatest phrases, such as:

Pencil Jet (E145)
Bent-Wing Pencil Jet (E145XR)
Hoover (737)
Super Hoover (737-800)
Super Dooper Hoover (737-900)

He always told you to go fast no matter where you were coming in from. He'd keep your speed above 300 as long as he could. He could move some airplanes. He retired about a year or so ago.

My favorite memory of him was coming in from AEX very early in the morning, like before 6 or so. It was still dark and there were very few airplanes in the sky. Axe was working all sectors. I heard him talking to someone else as we got the handoff, so I checked in as "Jetlincoln 2XXX..." He always seemed to like it. Southwest checked on climbing out of HOU. His response was, "Southwest 902, Houston Departure, good morning. Proceed direct Whatchu Talkin' 'Bout." Southwest keyed the mike but didn't say anything. A few seconds later they queried the fix name. Axe responded with, "Southwest 902, cleared direct Whatchu Talkin' 'Bout WLLIS."

Next thing you hear is..."Oh! Ah...Huh huh. Direct WLLIS, 902. That was funny."

He responded with, "I know."

Flown into Denver and had the Seeeya guy while on a XC in UPT. As other guys would get handed off they would give their Seeyah's back to him and he seemed to enjoy it. My IP said I had to make it sound cool when it was our turn to get handed off. Sure enough we get handed off and I just totally butcher it. He said nice one and have a good day. It was comicical in the jet..definitely thought about my radio call a little bit too hard that day!

That guy really seems to enjoy his job though.:cool:

sorry fellas she's married to a TSA captain. But her voice is sexxy.

The see ya guy in ATL.

That one female Express ramp controller, she takes the cake. Mucks up everything anytime you push off of the end of the terminal to spot 22 or 23. I have had to get sassy with her more than once.

I took a tour of LAX tower awhile back and she was working. Very cute. Not hot per se but not bad at all. Like I said. Very cute. Take a tour, it will not ruin your image of her
