John Cochrane Minden, late 1970's, the pilot and his crew/girlfriend talked to each other on the radio like it was a telephone: "Honey, I'm off tow and you can go to town for groceries now." "OK darling, I have to stop at the gas station first though." "That's OK but remember to get the kind of chips I like when you are at the store." This kind of thing happened often when this lovely couple showed up at Minden. During one of these episodes, a friend was helping me get strapped in my glider and I had the radio on. My friend says "Oh, I see that Mic Chatter and his girlfriend Frequency Hog are here again!" True story! |

After a short pause, several other pilots called their crews with the sane request. Most responses were on the lines of “Let me get right on that”, but my crew simply said, “Cram it”! JJ |

A very good friend of mine, now deceased, had a code phrase for “I’m on final glide“, it was “black lace panties“! To which his lovely crew would respond with “woo hoo!” or some other exclamation of joy. Many of you know who I am talking about....

At a regional practice day I was reporting to the CD on ground. He said my transmission was very weak. I repeated a few times with no improvement. My son/crew comes over the radio and says "Are you talking to your water tube again?". I was.

What he wrote is definitely NSFW and probably not for here either: https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/...rte-josephine/ -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |
