We had a CLRNC guy here at SLC that had a super thick Arkansas accent, and talked at 2 miles an hour.

Only certified on CLRNC. Haven't heard him in a while, replaced with new hire ATC types that clear you to Lima Alpha Xray airport.

up in maine/nh...portland approach has the nicest controllers...they have no traffic to really deal with so they're really pleasant no matter what time of day...

at hartford-brainard in ct there was this guy named john who was a retired center controller...he was hilarious...never had a problem asking someone what the hell they were doing. i instructed there for a while and met him a few times up in the tower and the resturant so i could always get whatever i asked for...and if my student screwed up i just chimed in and it was okay...

I always got a chuckle every time I heared him:)

He always reminded me of Yertle the Turtle

There is also a guy on Potomac approach or Wash center that sounds just like Cleveland from Family Guy. I here him most often early mornings headed north out of ORF.

There's a guy in our GFK control tower. He records ATIS and issues instructions with an auctioneer tone. I love it!

I just say "roger" and just laugh while I say it. Most of the F-gate ramp controllers take their job waaaay too seriously. I prefer the sweet talking girl on tower.

Off subject, but Captain Ramp Control and Donald the lav-service guy must be friends.
