Out in the pasture you say, Fox3...ah, well, hardly.
Still working, flying from time to time, so not retired just yet, thanks to ICAO.
Now, for an engine failure in a twin, yes a mayday might be appropriate, but if you tried this in US airspace, I suspect you would not get as much attention from ATC as a simple 'emergency' call.
And as for a 'pan' call, I suspect ATC would wonder which frying pan you are referring to...
