June 30, 200223 yr A true story from my Scottish days when a C152 pilot was asked to report his height prior to clearance to enter the zone, replied: "Flight Level Three Thousand, Seven Hundred", upon which the Controller very smartly replied, "Roger, prepare to fire retro-rockets and re-enter the atmosphere!"
July 1, 200223 yr Her er litt mer humor: I'll always remember a certain radio exchange that occurred one day as Walt and I were screaming across southern California 13 miles high. We were monitoring various radio transmissions from other aircraft as we entered Los Angeles Center's airspace. Though they didn't really control us, they did monitor our movement across their scope. I heard a Cessna ask for a readout of its groundspeed. "90 knots," Center replied. Moments later a Twin Beech required the same. "120 knots," Center answered. We weren't the only ones proud of our speed that day, as almost instantly an F-18 smugly transmitted, "Ah, Center, Dusty 52 requests groundspeed readout." There was a slight pause. "525 knots on the ground, Dusty." Another silent pause. As I was thinking to myself how ripe a situation this was, I heard the familiar click of a radio transmission coming from my back-seater. It was at that precise moment I realized Walt and I had become a real crew, for we were both thinking in unison. "Center, Aspen 20, you got a groundspeed readout for us?" There was a longer-than-normal pause. "Aspen, I show one thousand seven hundred forty-two knots." No further inquiries were heard on that frequency
July 2, 200223 yr quote: "Center, Aspen 20, you got a groundspeed readout for us?" There was a longer- than-normal pause. "Aspen, I show one thousand seven hundred forty-two knots." 1742 knop på bakken??
July 2, 200223 yr Vel, flyet sto vel ikke akuratt på bakken da, men "groundspeed" indikerer flyets hastighet målt uten noen som helst innvirkninger (vind osv).
July 2, 200223 yr Eller sagt (forhåpentligvis) enda enklere: Flyets hastighet i forhold til bakken uansett hvor langt det er ned til den.
July 5, 200223 yr Jeg skjønner fortsatt ikke poenget her, men så har jeg dårlig humoristisk sans. Er det morsomt at han fikk oppgitt 1xxx som hastighet? markus
