Heard on the R/T recently-
'....I'm descending to altitude 1500' to be at the correct quadrangular heading.'
Me- '...what's your destination?'
Him- '...nowhere, I'm just gonna fly around here for a while...'
Many years ago in a previous life (RAF approach room)-
'..terminating service as you descend below my height..'
Several heads swivel to look at the speaker, who was all of 4' 10''.
'...XXX123 is on the 180 radial, no the 185, er...the 175, at eerrmm...20, no it's 22 miles on the ...' (CLUNK) '...OUCH'.
(Instructor got fed up and smacked him round the back of the head.)
Arabian Prince learning to fly, to the other aircraft downwind-
'...GET OUT OF MY WAY!'
Stansted Radar's first day in TC, and the go-around alarm is warbling away.
Heathrow God '...what's that noise at the Stansted end?'
Another Heathrow God '...its the alarm to tell them their plane's arrived.'
