You need to CRM your colleagues who crewed Rex 469 into YNAR and YGTH at around 4pm local this afternoon.
He “taxis” here, he “backtracks” there and “turns” everywhere, but nary an “ing” to be heard.
More fun stuff heard from other aircraft:
“Centre this is ABC. May we please make a request.” (Good manners are so rare these days.)
A couple of times from different pilots at different places: “Urbanville traffic ABC is inbound 15 miles South of the field.” But for the “of the field” I wouldn’t have known where the traffic was!
