Now don't get me wrong, I have the highest regard for our Kansas Cousin's. It's just they have a slightly less "stuffy" attitude to R/T than us Brits and it does make for some amusing exchanges.
Mid 70's, Eastern UK crawling with USAF F4's. STEAD (sp?) formation of F4's en-route back to Lakenheath trying to get through Awy Blue 1.
"Eastern Radar this is Stead 15 flight, FL150, request clearance through Blue One....." Silence.
"Eastern Radar this is Stead 15 flight, FL150, request clearance through Blue One......" Silence.
Repeat x 2, Silence x 2.
Posh Brit voice "Stead Flight, why don't you try Eastern on xxx.x?"
"Ah what the hell, we're through the c£$%sucking airway anyway".
Also Mid 70's, same Wing, over West Wales.
"Stead 65, after weather avoidance, what's your intended rollout heading?"
"270 if I can get round these c£$%sucking thumbly bums!".
Didn't hear it, but the F111 trying to get clearance down the Tumby Bomb Plot from Drayton on 243 was apparently hilarious.
Keep this thread going, it's a cracker.
