Hi Guys,

When I was training as ATC sooo long ago, a story from Melbourne Flight Service (remember those guys?). They had a U2 spy plane flying around, very high, above top of controlled airspace (so above 45,000). Not sure of exact wording, but something like..

FS: *** report altitude
U2: above FL450
FS: How high above, in case of traffic
U2: If there is any traffic up here, we'll tell YOU about it!

and

FS: *** report position
U2: Over Tasmania
FS: Where abouts over Tasmania
few seconds silence (probably as they look out window and stop laughing)
U2: You name it, we're over it!

And if ya want some more, I keep up a page for Jandakot Tower and have a 'Did ya Hear' section with some good quotes from there. Find it at jandakot.moby58.com/
