|  Pilot Slang on Radios
Here is what I have. Let me know if you have anything else - A) Here comes the flash = ident B) In the window = altimeter setting (30.00 in the window) C) On the box = squack code (3031 on the box)

Tower: "Piper 1234A runway 19'er cleared for takeoff" Pilot: "Piper 34A ON THE GO!"

I know max made his up so I will make one up too :-) Cessna XXXX: Bowman Tower, Cessna XXXX at runway 69, ready for takeoff. Bowman Tower: Porn star, you're cleared for takeoff, Runway 69. Be sure to flash us on a fly by. Okay, stupid, corny and vulgar but I was bored. |

I heard a fellow pilot the other night ask if a MOA was hot and center replied they can't say Hot anymore. Supposidly it is either active or inactive. I was very tempted to ask if active meant Hot.

About 50% of the time LAS approach will call us out to other traffic as a "Dash 6" and I know the folks looking for us are going "WTF is a Dash 6!?"

On Approach freq in PIT a few years back: "US Air XXX, you're following an Embraer at your 2 o'clock, 5 miles, turning final. Report traffic in sight." "Traffic in sight for US Air XXX." "Roger, follow that traffic, cleared the visual 28R." "Follow the burrito supreme, cleared 28R, US XXX." They were following XJT. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doing a flight from PHL to BVT, Boston Center forgot to start bringing us down. 80 miles out, we're still at FL350. We start asking for lower, it takes awhile, finally start getting it. About 20 miles out, dropping through F200, we're handed off to Burlington Approach. "Air Shuttle XXXX checking in, 200 for 10 thousand, field in sight." "Air Shuttle XXXX, roger, what are you doing up there?" "Someone forgot to hand us off." "Ahh, ok. You're cleared for re-entry and the visual, make any turns as necessary to make it down."

Ah the life around a busy airport.. Did you get to fly the Powerpuff 737 when you were flying express?

i've heard jungle jet (ERJ) and at NW they call the 747s whales. I have also heard a story about a controller asking an A/C give way to the large regional (E-170) jet. They replied "roger, give way to the jumbo shrimp" and lately I have been hearing pilots respond when asked about wind readouts, two-three-five diagonal eighty-five.....??Diagonal!! is that the correct way to read it?

How about when you are at an uncontrolled airport and people are having discussions about their weekend and how so and so is doing?

The Caribbean is an interesting place to hear strange terminology. "Say Level Leaving" "Line up and Wait" "Cleared to land on runway tree-tree"

Never call it "TCAS". Only use the proper terminology "Fish Finder" or, my personal favorite, "The Metal Detector"

The only controllers I hear say "fife" are in Tampa Approach - and they are funny about it.
