"I got it, I got it!"

No, no, that's not it. It's "Hey, watch this!"

No, no, that's not it. It's "Hey, watch this!"

Often preceded by "Here, hold ma beer!"

And both usually in a male voice.

Messages can come from anyone on the aircraft. You tell me.

...but if you leave a message after the beep, we'll get right back to
you."

1. "Flight Engineer to the flight station" (in a P-3, when the FE has
gone aft to whiz, have a cuppa or whatever, and the pilots have been
left in the cockhouse without adult supervision..)

2. "Nav, flight, give us a heading back to homeplate"
"Uh, 341?" (clearly stated as a question).
"Nav, flight, I want you to TELL me, not ASK me..."
(also a P-3. Nav was a recently qual'd nugget. Flight was the squadron
Ops O, and not happy with this response. If you thought the shortest
measureable time was a nanosecond, then you didn't see how quickly his
headsets came off and he ended up in the Nav's grill...)

3. Without the intercom: The fire warning horn for any motor....for the
third time...after both its own HRD fire bottle and the one on the
adjacent engine has already been expended. (resulted in a short P-3
detour to Wake Island on a transpac to figure out WTF)

4. "Crew, flight. We've just heard from (insert appropriated command
element here): we're going to PLE (also a P-3 thing, PLE meaning
"prudent limit of endurance". You won't be back in time for the movie, a
hot meal, or anything else...)
