On the subject of this 'Super' business, it's really all a bit much. It's like me calling my
U206
G a 'Utililiner Golf'. Come on...
Yesterday out near Jabiru, there was an exchange on 126.7 that went something like this:
ABC: 'ABC joins downwind runway 09, Jabiru.'
Random: 'Oooh yeah!'
ABC: 'Ooooh yeah!'
Me (unable to resist): 'Ooooh yeah!'
Random: 'Oh yeah!'
Radio calls on that frequency were suffixed for the succeeding several minutes by that phrase. Silliness ensued.
And today, on centre frequency for FNQ:
Centre: 'NX* (Njet 717), contact centre 124.1 (or similar), g'day.'
NX*: 'Brisbane Centre, g'day, NX* maintaining Flight Level 330.'
Centre: 'NX*, hello again, still with me on 134.1.'
NX*: 'I was just practising.'
Centre: 'Sounded Good.'
