here's another...from Flying Tales of The Grey Baron:Sayah Yo Reequest
The following interchange was overheard between Washington National Approach and a Southern Belle (the tail number has been changed to protect the innocent), and with apologies for attempting to reproduce her accent. The time is about 4PM on a weekday; a year before the strike. Approach is very busy with airline traffic. Marginal VFR. Turn off your squelch and listen:
“Washington Nashnul A-proach, this is Novembuh Oh-oh-oh Cholly Ho-tel about five miles from Washington. Wez now three point five. Ovah."
“Zero Charley Hotel, National Approach. What’s your request?”
“Washington Nashnul A-proach, Novembuh Oh-oh-oh Cholly Ho-tel is VFR, and we’d lak to lan’ at Washington Nashnul. Ovah.”
“Zero Hotel, say type aircraft and position.”
“Washington Nashnul A-proach this is Oh-oh-oh Cholly Ho-tel. We’uh a Pipuh Cherokee Six. It looks lak wez about ovah the bridge. Ovah.”
“Piper Charley Hotel. Maintain VFR. Squawk zero four fife two and ident.”
...and so on, with the Piper cluttering up the frequency with the complete tail number and message address each time. Meanwhile she descended without clearance to 1500 feet.
Approach in complete exasperation, tells her her transponder is not working. She turns it from STBY to ON.
She is again reporting “over a bridge,” and wanting landing instructions.
Approach, about to leave his tree, says: “Charley Hotel, we have maybe 15 bridges in the Washington area. Due to heavy traffic suggest you try Hyde Field or Washington Virginia airports. Frequency change approved. Good day."
