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 :p






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

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 16th Apr 2015 10:37

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 :eek:

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. :ok:

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