Someone touched on the Dan Air hilarious R/T moment at Aberdeen. I could not resist telling it again.
A Dan Air flight is running late into Aberdeen and he eventually changes from Scottish to Aberdeen Approach.
A/C 'Aberdeen Good day its the F*****g Dan Air 123.
An uncomfortable pause lasts for a few moments and the controller eventually responds as he would normally would. However despite the controller using the correct callsign the pilot operating the R/T still persisted in saying 'F*****g Dan Air 123'.
The flight was handed over to the tower frequency and the pilot continued to use this 'modified' callsign. The tower controller was just as surprised as their colleague was on approach but nevertheless the pilot continued to use the modified callsign right until the aircraft taxied onto stand.
When the aircraft pulled onto stand the pilot called tower and suggested that they should listen to the current ATIS.
The ATIS was recorded as normal however in the background you could hear a certain Approach controller shout out 'Where is that F******g Dan Air'.
A good laugh!
