Aviation Humour

tango15 - love it!

Approaching one of the platforms off the Norfolk coast, the HLO had his microphone stuck on transmit. The noise of our approach and landing was transmitted around the area. When he had fixed his headset I told him on the radio that I had heard myself coming.

A chum who was making his take off call from a nearby rig one night went by the name of Shirt. Quick as a flash the chap I was flying with said "that would be shirt lifting then, would it?"

One time as we checked in with BHX, on 118.05, I announced we were an Embraer with Lulu. The ATIS was transmitting information Lima.

He said, its Moo-moo now....

Back in the 60s the non-shiny fleet, ie Bomber Command used a 5 letter callsign Mike x x x x Well one day our callsign was MWVBG. The flt eng kept muttering Mike Whisky Vodak Brandy Gin. Sure enough the Co called up with the wrong words.

Another time some idiot assigned us the callsign Mike Tango Uniform Romeo Delta for a trip to the US. Now the US much prefer word callsign rather than phonetics.

Sitting on a gas platform deck in the southern North Sea one morning unloading passengers, I heard a friend flying out to the same field from Yarmouth in an S76 callsign G-DRNT, on a track which would take him overhead. He made a call to say he was entering the field from the south west, and as he was clearly in sight I replied "Roger, see you enn tee". It was fun to relieve the monotony sometimes.
