Lost in translation

I don't think I understood a single post. Plus, in Australia, the mil Blackhawks don't say anything on the radio. Even when they are mixing it around the Sydney Harbour Bridge with a bunch of VFR civilians in R405. I'd be happy if they would say something, anything, like "lookout here we come, way below 500', maneuvering erratically"

22c, in a previous life we never spoke to civs simply because our radios were UHF or HF, and we didn't have VHF.

Wasn't a problem, what we couldn't hear we couldn't worry about






Then again, civs generally don't use UHF so they're just as much to blame......

[Ascend Charlie]

John, we were too busy gibbering to each other on Squadron FM to have time to listen to, or much less talk to, d!ckhead civvies.

[John Eacott]

Ah, call on Custard?

Someone once said "Dolphin 125" was a good answer - mind you, he found himself in warm water after transmitting it (as he didn't know the translation) and so wore it as a nickname for a year or so

Can't remember the number, but I always enjoyed the sequence that included "take first the plank out of thine own eye . . . . . c*nt"! All many moons ago now, singing:-
"there we were just sittin' in the hover
40' up with the ball in the water
radar's singin' & the sonar's pingin' when the engine stops". . etc.

Going home to mother, I've just established a Dogbox bearing 250, expiry time if you're lucky.

I would agree completely but i'm POPEYE.

[tistisnot]

And may I say, a little cheesy .....
