This goes on at GTU more than I can handle, if you want to talk to someone, call them on the phone, why do you need to horde the radio for personal conversation when in the mean time, someone could be wanting to announce their position for entry. | |

|  Memphis Center once called my call sign N567 Middle Tennessee, instead of N567 Mike Tango. It made me laugh, which is what I needed.

| We often use an approach/departure frequency of 119.0 and a few pilots say "ninteen nuthin'" when they readback the handoff. Faster than saying "one one niner decimal zero" I guess. Mike |

| Ft Worth Center "Delta with the emergency, stand by" "American, go ahead...what was that ball score you wanted"? Atlanta tower (observing a 737 taxiing very fast) "Delta 233 kind of going balls to the wall today aren’t we?" (female voice) "Uh, tower, we call it wide open"! Gander oceanic to a KC10 over the North Atlantic "Opec 24 can you climb to a higher altitude"? "Gander, what else can you do when you climb except go to a higher altitude"? True story...the Barksdale KC10 reserve unit had the call sign "Opec" as we had ALL the gas. First time we deployed to Saudi Arabia the French filed a protest with the Defense Attaché Office as we motored over Kermitville. But the Saudi's loved it! I guess the French won the battle though as we had to use "Hoist" for future overseas missions. The "Opec" call sign is still used today (I think) by the reserve KC10s at McGuire.

| Years ago when I drove the Supertug I was waiting to get out of the ramp and the controller was working his butt on to sequence everyone. It was a east bound operation and he was working the northside. Those of you who have had to pleasure of ATL in a east bound operation know what I am talking about with the loop. All kinds of planes calling ground ATL Ground: "would everyone shut the hell I can hear a damn thing anyone is saying". The radio went silent and then making them wait he calls us and tell us we are clear to tow to the jetbase. 5 min later he was back to making it look like a piece of cake to sequence everyone.

| Reminds me of LaGarbage There were different philosophies there. When things got hectic some controllers would get all hyper and start shouting. Some would get really calm and quiet. And a couple would get funny ... NWA "Ground we've just seen 4 planes go by us that pushed after us!" Grnd "ok everybody relax. If I skipped anyone I'll make it up to you. Tomorrow."

| Its so good to know some controllers have a good sense of humor. Their was one at ATL named Buzz. He was the smoothest controller I experienced in over 3 yrs of moving planes. I dont care how crappy the weather was or if it was the 1700 or 1900 push he kept the planes rolling. And not matter what he always said "have a great flight ya'll "

| Agent Smith  | Back in the Fredoom Air days: "Albuquerque, Free*WOOOOOO*" "Last call, you were stepped on." "F*WOOOOOOO* *WOOOOOOOOO* 210 for 310" "Last call you were stepped on." Then the FAA stepped in and started investigating. There's a couple of "radio jokes" that involve Lufthansa but I'm not touching those with a ten-foot pole.

| GoJets (Gateway) was having the same problem in ORD. FAA allegedly put in a second and/or third receiver to triangulate location of the calls or something |

| I had somebody in a gulfstream call my seminole an indian. Tower told him to look for us on downwind and he said "I've got the Indian in sight". I thought that was pretty funny. I was bsing with a controller once who did some flight training at ATP in the aircraft we were flying over Virginia. He said "Seminole 790GK, you guys ATP?" and then he went on to tell us about his experience with ATP. It was pretty cool. |
