Second hand:

XYZ, on final, your gear is up.
XYZ: What?
XYZ, your landing gear is up!
(goes on a while. Finally)
XYZ: I can't hear you guys. There is some darn buzzer going off in here.

First hand. Littlefield TX standard class nationals -- one of the first with D2 like gliders that load really heavy and the nose points up a lot. Towpilots fly in from around the state, many used to towing 2-33's all day long.

Pilot: Towplane x, 5 more knots.
(noise)
Pilot: TOWOPLANE X, 5 MORE KNOTS!
(noise)
Pilot: TOWOPLANE X, 70 KNOTS NOW!


Next tow:
Pilot: TOWPLANE X, 5 MORE KNOTS!
PIlot: TOWPLANE X 5 MORE KNOTS NOW!

This keeps going on for several tows until finally

Towplane x: What do y'all wanna fly so fast for anyhow?
