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

My club pre-solo phase check consisted of 2 hours of sarcastic comments
about all the ways I would have killed myself, or busted either the airplane
or class B airspace. When it was done, after bouncing the landing and
struggling to expedite the Citabria off the runway for landing traffic, I
unconsciously vocalized the only thought my brain could construct: *god
dammit!*. Unfortunately, I was still holding the mic key... The check CFI
was laughing his ass off.

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

well at least you didn't have a CFII who didn't use a E6B to teach
me something but instead used a tazer. grin We both have a sick
sense of humor. hehehehe. Makes a good shocker when I tell
people a passenger next to me on a plane pulled out a tazer
right after takeoff and told me "Do exactly as I say and nothing else
and we will all be safe and you will not be harmed." hehehehe.

hehehehe. Kind of like my IFR club phase check where the instructor
wanted to do the last landing to keep current. He said it was going
to be a precision landing. I asked what he was aiming for. He said
"I'm going to hit the numbers of course." Well he landed, well, ummm,
firm. I said (off the radio), "Well you sure hit those f**king numbers.
Did you mean to land on them or go through the numbers???"

While I'm at it, my favorite was on short final the controller said
there were quite a few birds by the end of the runway. I said, "Traffic
in sight."

Actually just yesterday, the plane before me said he was going to one
of the restaurants on the field. While I landed behind him. I saw
some big rabbits on the runway. I said on air to the controller, "For
your information there are quite a few rabbits on the runway. Maybe
the pilot in front of me would like some rabbit stew."

All right, now that we're in the mood:

I was flying cancelled checks on a regular run between RDU and CLT and as I
usually did first, stopped into the RDU FSS to check out the weather radar.
There was an ominous line of thunderstorms between Raleigh and Charlotte, but I
could see a spot where the line appeared pretty thin. I figured I could grit it
through and then I'd be in the clear on the backside. Going around wasn't
really an option, the line was longer than the whole flight.

I took off and turned onto course, heading towards a huge black line of clouds.
I was still in the clear but apparent doom was rapidly approaching. Approach
called and wanted to know if I was interested in deviating: "Delta went to XYZ
and USAIr went to ZYX, etc...." I thanked him but said no, I thought I'd
continue on. As I got closer and closer I began to regret my decision. I was
getting more lonely than the Maytag repairman.

In the meanwhile I did those things pilots do when faced with oncoming heavy
turbulence: reduced power, slowed down, lowered my seat all the way, put my hat
on, turned up the lights to full brightness, and tightened up my seatbelt as
tight as I could make it. I was ready but I'll admit to being scared. I
entered the clouds.

Turbulence was mild for a bit, then I felt a loooooong steady updraft. "Here we
go", I thought. I had a death grip on the yoke. There was a slight bump and
then I was back in calm air. I couldn't believe my luck. Raleigh Approach
called again: "Report your flight conditions, please". I told them I was in
pretty smooth air but solid IFR at 4,000 feet. "I'm surprised", he said, "you
know Delta diverted to XYZ and USAir diverted to ZYX".

"Yeah, I know", I said, "but those guys are pussies".

I was midfield downwind at Deer Vally airport in Phoenix, got "Cleared for
option short approach approved" from tower, and distinctly heard "JUST
****ING GO!!" being yelled in the background, don't know if ground control
was yelling at an aircraft, or if it was someone in the cab trying to tell
someone to politely leave.

I was listening to approach last weekend as they talked to a jumbo from
an Asian carrier. When the aircraft responded to approach you could
hear someone in the background saying loudly "Chocolate, chocolate!"

Perhaps they were trying to appease the Steward?

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

peanuts or pretzels."
