Someone mentioned the humour thread.....(just posted this)
Had a good one today...
C/S calls for taxi, TWR writes it up on a "local".
Me to TWR: "um, are you sure, I thought he was a landaway? Can you check?" "yep, will do."
TWR: "C/S, is this detail your landaway at Staverton?"
A/C "Negative. I'm going to Gloucester!"
....
....
TWR: "Roger."
Everyone says something a bit dumb sometimes.... it may be oneself, another ATCO, an ATSA (my senior ATSA is one of the funniest people on Earth with a seemingly endless stock of hilarious real life tales!) And yes, VERY occasionally a pilot will make us laugh too!
It's all in good fun -it works both ways. Just you try and find a pilot who flew in S Wales between 2002-2004 who hasn't been on the receiving end of one of my RT gaffes!
