"Florida CAP XXX, this is CAPflight XXX; We will give you a better location shortly, we have a strong signal. Just give me a few minutes to play with my Becker."
"CAPflight XXX, Florida CAP XXX; Roger. I'll wait here holding my Johnson until you call."
So a strong Becker is no match for a Johnson?
Funny.
I don't think that the Observer knew how funny the transmission was. The Ground Team Leader, however, picked up on it right away and clearly was being a smart-[alec]. I choked on my coffee when I heard it. It was really funny.
Whip out your [Nor]becker! ;D I'd be ROTFLMAO!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I don't get it?

(ok yes I do)
Don't tell me it was one of my recent MO students.
John, I dont know if you remember me but I think you were getting active in GR IV there in FLWG right as I was packing up to head to Texas. I saw you a few times at Patrick at the Commanders Calls, I cant remember who the Group Commander was at the time but I think it was either LTC Durham or LTC Owen.... Hope things are going well!
I was on a mission many years ago as a GTL trainee and was following the GTL in a second van when we went through a slushy rain storm (kind of like really cold rain drops for you southerners). It was one of those days where most of the pilots were back at base, drinking coffee and not really wanting to fly- it was too cold, you know. At any rate, the GTL in the lead van radioed in that we were going through large hail- keep in mind slushy rain- no hail in sight. We were told to RTB and were back in 30 minutes. There wasn't a plane on the ramp. They all took off and headed for home. The IC was not impressed with the GTL's weather forecasting abilities!!

seriously, you bumped a year old post to insert an emoticon? seriously?
(paraphrased - heard it first hand but its been a few...)
Base: This is mission base, all teams standby for bottom of the hour roll call, prepare to report location and status.
MP: Base, this is CAPFLIGHTXXX you are five minutes early.
Base: CAPFLIGHTXXX, the mission clock reports XX:30, standby for roll call.
MP: Base, my watch is a Rolex, its correct.
Base: CAPFLIGHTXXX the mission clock is a broken Casio which you apparently forgot to synchronize your Rolex with. Report location and status.
Part of the joke here is yo had to know the MP - Dr., retired 1-star, and pilot, which means he literally had no mental room to ever be "wrong".
