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.
