Default 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 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're just too PC. The old guys used to drop it at the drop of a hat.
Maybe the WWII generation was the greatest generation?

Because they would curse on the radio??????

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

I can curse with the best of them in probably 4 languages. I was
just surprised to hear it on frequency. I'm glad that when I let
one go it won't phase anyone. grin

Because they wouldn't allow a bunch of pinko liberal-ass PC cocksuckers to
deter them from saying what they really felt...

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

Funny. It's actually the Republicans (generally called "conservatives" not
"liberals", though it's true those labels are pretty meaningless) who seem
to be the most into broadcast "decency".
