Dropping an bombs.....the f-bomb on frequency

I was inside the Final Approach fix into a local airport and just broke
out 800 AGL, someone on frequency had their push-to-talk button
keyed and it sounded like someone in the background dropped
a bomb....an f-bomb ("....f**king..."). I'm pretty sure it
was tower too. I replied on air, "Wow. that's an interesting
conversation you guys are having." Whoever it was said something
like, "Say again, ahhh, never mind."

I had a couple of friends ask me if I have ever heard anyone curse
on frequency and now I can say I have. And I thought I'd be
the first to do it. grin

The classic story is that of a lost pilot calling Washington Center:
"Washington Center , I don't know where I am out here; I'm all ****ed up out
here."

WC: "Aircraft calling Washington Center, say again."
Pilot: "I'm lost. I don't don't know where the hell I am. I'm all ****ed up
out here."
WC: "Aircraft calling Washington Center: you can't talk like that on the radio.
What is your call sign?"
Pilot: "I may be ****ed up... but I'm not *that* ****ed up."

I believe the cussing on the radio began to cease with the advent of Radar!

Oh, it hasn't left us completely.

Not too long ago, well, mebe a couple of years.. but no more than
that, I was sitting at the hold line for 24 waiting for a little blue
Grumman Tiger to land.

Now we had one hefty cross wind from the south and that little Grumman
was doing a very nice job of a slip to land. He had the upwind wing
low, the airplane was tracking straight and the nose was pointed right
down the runway.

Unfortunately the nose gear has that long, streamlined wheel pant
which was weather vaned at near 30 degrees (looked like even more...
Grummans have a castering nose gear) Every time that nose gear would
touch it would whip straight and go into one GAWD awful oscillation.
About the third time this happened he must have had a death grip on
the yoke and the mike button ended up pushed. As he pulled the nose
up yet again I heard, "Come one you Mutha...." complete with family
history, canine ancestory, and un-natural habits.

It must have worked as it stayed down the next time. :-))

I did have to wait to quit laughing before departing though.

A few years back I was just turning downwind from the 45 at an
uncontrolled airport when I heard "McMinnville traffic, Skipper 12345
turning left base runway two-two"

I couldn't resist and immediately transmitted "McMinnville traffic,
Cessna 5156-Hotel left downwind two-two, number two behind the little
son-of-a-Beech."

There must have been a bunch of people monitoring the CTAF because I
heard three different laughs and a dozen clicks.

I sometimes wonder how I managed to get through an entire career in this
business without making the compulsory faux pax on the radio.
Now the intercom is another story!!!!

I overheard a student pilot on our class C approach frequency just last
week say "I just had a brain fart. 04... 042... please repeat the squawk?"

Does that count?

We had a student pilot doing touch and goes on a 3500 foot runway a few
winters ago. It had snowed recently. The runways were plowed dry but
there were 3-4 foot snowbanks at the ends. This kid lands long and
while trying to take off again realizes he won't clear the snowbank in
the ****box 152. So he slams on the brakes but skids into the snowbank.
That flips him upside down. So there he sits hanging from the
seatbelt. Instead of trying to get out right away he says "Tower,
Cessna7XG." The tower controller, without looking for him just simply
says "Cessna7XG cleared for touch and go." Cessna captain responds
back..."Ah tower, Cessna7XG...I'm all ****ed up out here." That's about
the time the controller saw said cessna and blew his pop all over the
window. So far the greatest tape any of us has ever heard.

Great story.

Considering the presumably crushed and obstructed radio antenna, I am
surprised that the tower was able to receive the transmission.

In the snowbank it could have made an excellent antenna. Sort of like
the aluminum on a TV's rabbit ears.

And it is a neat story.
