"Pakistani" airfield near Toronto?
I was out flying around western New York yesterday, listening to 122.7
which is used for a lot of local airports as a CTAF. As usual, I could also hear some airports in southern Ontario. But then I heard something weird - a couple of guys with thick Pakistani accents were on the frequency, and it sounded like they were calling CTAF at "Pakistan Toronto Airfield". It also sounded like they were using British-style radio technique, asking for "landing instructions" and the like. Is there a flight school or something near Toronto where they train Pakistani pilots so exclusively that they'd use "Pakistan Toronto Airfield" as the name on the CTAF? -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ "A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction into a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day." - Calvin discovers Usenet |
