“Anonymous Keying of the Mic”
Must be a million out there, original and variations on a theme; over the years I have had more than a few good chuckles and wondered what PPRuNers could bring to the table – lets have some light hearted humour !
My opener follows.....
Long long time ago in Dubai (single runway days) I was sitting at my desk with VHF scanner chuntering in the background; there had already been some media attention surrounding the fact BA were transporting two rare apes (orang-utans) from the orient to UK. Scanner caught my attention as the outbound flight sector DXB/LHR (let’s call it Speedbird 123) was taxiing out with whoever was doing the R/T getting a little caught up with the moment.....
