What about this?
This past weekend myself and 4 other Wintervogel manne flew to Vredendal.
Coming back I contacted Langebaan approach as we were to fly through their airspace en route to Saldanha.
Now this woman, i think she could be a niece of minister Shabalala Msimang or something ( but i might be wrong), answered the radio. Neither me nor one of the other guys could make out a single word apart from " SALDANHA" that she said.
How do you handle this one?

My favourite radio transmission was
"Xray Juliet...entering the JHB TMA from the South West, now between Mamelodi and Kitty Hawk...routing for Pvt strip"
and by the SAME pilot dropping to circuit height, "Descending to sixty five thousand feet."
He was no doubt looking at his heading (SW) on his GPS
PS There's a caller on SRE named "Spiros" how can that be a reg? I OFTEN hear him. "Spiros" this and that.

One of my mates when he was still training (I'm not telling) while flying though FAD200 at 600ft " Traffic in the Delta200, XXX routing from Morning Star to Melkbos at Flight Level 600......."
I think his aerie has oxygen.
GR8-dad and I flew from Nooitgedacht near Clan William to Saldanha through Langebaanweg airspace and we to were challenged by the operator who told us to call abeam Aa%&^^&*(. I asked dad if he new where A%&^^&*(. was and after perusing the map took the only spot starting with an A, Aurora, and responded "WVV call abeam Aurora" later we were told to call abeam V$%^^^%$#, this time the map revealed Vredenburg.

i'm a student pilot. My biggest problem when flying out was that I had no clue where the instructor had sent us out to.
I once called "JHB special rules east, microlight ABC routing from Kittyhawk to ..... Ahh ..... Ahh ... stand by ....." and then abandoned the call. It could have been worse. Imagine I had asked the instructor where the f@#* we were with m finger on the PTT!

Airspeed, altitude, or brains....you always need at least two

Reminded me of Ralph Louw and I at Rand and the nephew of minister Shabalala Msimang or something ( but i might be wrong), keys the mike, we hear him asking the tower for taxi permission to dhuiyreurcb xcxncbn qwqwqw ... quick as a flash a response came "F*[k, they're taking shortcuts through here now too? What next? and immediately another pilot says "Say number on board?" It took a while for the tower to respond and the controller was audibly close to a fit of laughter.Bacchus wrote: niece of minister Shabalala Msimang or something ( but i might be wrong),
