February 4, 201313 yr Moderator Well, at last I've finally learned how to properly pronounce "Iqaluit..." (ekal-uwit) :Nerd: Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
February 4, 201313 yr Author Well, at last I've finally learned how to properly pronounce "Iqaluit..." (ekal-uwit) :Nerd: :LMAO: Actually default ATC in FSX/FS9 does a very good job at it. Over and out eh! RJ PS: To bad "eh" wasn't included with ATC for us frozen simmers.
February 4, 201313 yr Moderator Over and out eh! PS: To bad "eh" wasn't included with ATC for us frozen simmers. Oh, now you've gone and committed my "Pet Peeve #124," which is "improper use of radio phraseology..." :lol: "Over" means "I'm done talking and will listen for your reply." "Out" means "Conversation is completed. No reply expected." Obviously then, one simply cannot be both "over" and "out" simultaneously! :blink: Fr.

February 4, 201313 yr "Over and Out" is valid military Nato speak. But not ICAO. Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
February 4, 201313 yr "Over and Out" is valid military Nato speak. Not when *I* was in the military. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
February 4, 201313 yr Author Oh, now you've gone and committed my "Pet Peeve #124," which is "improper use of radio phraseology..." :lol: I knew that one would get you. If that "Pet Peeve" is only #124 on your checklist, I guess I must be one old grumpy man. That "Pet Peeve" is #787 on my checklist.. :lol: "Over" means "I'm done talking and will listen for your reply." "Out" means "Conversation is completed. No reply expected." I picked that saying up from the good old WWII movies. But I'm still forced to use "Over and Out" when conversing with the better half. :wub: And now I'm picking up bad aviation lingo from Youtube... Boston John and ladies - Funny ATC RJ
February 4, 201313 yr Not when *I* was in the military. Same here, and that includes a deployment under NATO OPCON (Strike Force Atlantic / Operation Northern Wedding). scott s. .
February 5, 201313 yr Moderator "Over and Out" is valid military Nato speak. But not ICAO. Um, no it is not. Only script writers and ignorant civilians make that silly error. :ph34r: Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
February 5, 201313 yr Commercial Member Rodger Rodger, what's your vector victor... BTW RJ, is "Eh" the correct spelling for the Canadian equivilent of our "Hugh"? I always thought it should be "Aye"... :smile:
February 5, 201313 yr Author Rodger Rodger, what's your vector victor... :LMAO: Jim now that brings back memories... When I was younger my parents finally bought our first VHS player. It was an Electrolux VHS player and cost them $1200.00. The bonus was it came with the VHS movie Airplane. I watched that move about 10 times and will never forget it. Flying was in my blood at age 5. RJ
February 5, 201313 yr Commercial Member We had HBO on cable back in those days, yeah I watched that one 10 times too, lol. I'll never forget the subtitles when Barbara Billingsly translated "jive": "Sheeet mon" (subtitle: golly) :smile:

February 6, 201313 yr Airbus is testing a new engine (Rolls Royce Trent XWB) in "tim buck two" Iqaluit Canada (CYFB) for it's new A350 jet. At least it does not look as awkward as the engine test beds of Airbus Industrie (A340) and GE Aircraft Engines (B747). . . . The bonus was it came with the VHS movie Airplane. I watched that move about 10 times and will never forget it. Flying was in my blood at age 5. Airplane! is one of my favorite films!
