This ones for the Pilots here and anyone who has a scanner or is frequently within earshot of one.
Whats the funniest radio chatter you heard, or were involved with?
for me it was the radio chatter at Edinburgh airport on October 24th this year as we were waiting for concorde to land
first up was a ba Airbus captain
“Er tower, I don’t want to sound like an anorak, but when is Concorde due in?”
By far the funniest chatter that day was 15 mins after Concorde departed, a Scot Airways Dornier 328, while lining up on the runway asked
“When’s concorde due in?”
Tower – “She left about 15 minutes ago. Maybe if you hurry you can catch up with her?!”
—Laughter from several pilots on frequency–
then an unkown voice: ” Thats cruel”
