I was working one Saturday with another engineer, and we hear this
noise, and wondered what it was.
A tech pokes his head in the lab, and says "That was Joe [buzzing
the building in a 152]. I guess he wants me to go pick him up
the airport. I'll be back in a bit."
Unfortunately for Joe, a cop was working a detail at the corner, and
got the tail #.
I can't remember who the tech said Joe was saying "Yes, sir", "No, sir",
and "Never again, sir" to on the phone when he got there.
re: “Yes, sir”, “No, sir”, and “Never again, sir”
A conversation with the tower or the FSS is seldom a good thing.
One of the two or three things you NEVER want to hear the controller say, “Call the tower when you’re on the ground.” Funny how they have their little ‘code’ words and phrases they use when they’re pissed. Like, “State your intentions!”
