Classic Air Traffic Control Tower Conversations:
"Air Force '45, it appears your engine has...oh, disregard.
I see you've already ejected."
"Citation 123, if you quit calling me Center, I'll quit cal-
ling you twin Cessna."
"About three miles ahead, you've got traffic 12 o'clock, five
miles." If you hear me, traffic no longer a factor."
"You're gonna have to key the mic. I can't see you when you
nod your head."
"Put your compass on 'E' and get out of my airspace."
"Don't anybody maintain anything."
"Climb like your life depends on it...because it does."
"Hello flight 56, if you hear me rock your wings." "OK TOWER, IF YOU HEAR ME ROCK THE TOWER!"
I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
