So I've got way too much time on my hands...

and decided it'd be fun to find "me" on a liveatc.net tape.  Wasn't as hard as you might think either.

This is from Feb 15th when I for once was able to rent an airplane for me (and a companion) on my own business rather than someone else paying me to fly.  It was a nice change of pace

The players:

6758F = Golfer

734QF = Traffic Airplane/My former office working for Sunny95 flying "Yellow Thunder"  you can guess the color of the airplane.  The pilot of "Queasy Fox" is a nice guy who just can't speak english or follow directions.  His callsign with the Bolton tower guy's is "Goofball One" whereas "Goofball Two" is another foreign guy who gets lost even after about 1000 hours in the local area....scary.

XXXHP = Ohio Highway Patrol C-182s.

No Flight Options Beechjets (which is rare...they're ALWAYS around)

It was kind of neat to get this recording (it's from a general scanner on both Ground/Tower freq) because I got no response on my position report at I-270 and Rt-23 and it's due to a guy calling ground at the same time as my Tx.

Also was nice to listen to the end and the "WTF did he say?!" moment at the end.  He got the callsign right and I was sure I heard it right...who knows.

Interesting. For some reason I like listening to ATC.  You sound very young on the radio.
I have a similar tape made many moons ago when I first started flying. I wanted to hear what a I sounded like on ATC so I tuned my airband radio into the tower frequency, then left it beside a tape recorder microphone. My little sister has strict instructions to turn on the radio and tape recorder at exactly the time my lesson was due to start.  This she faithfully did. I was disappointed to hear my voice sounded liked the whiny teenager I undoubtedly was at the time:lol  To make it worse my instructor made a few calls for me as obviously I was under pressure.

But what is more fascinating and hilarious now is the background chatter in the house which the mic picked up. My sister's running commentry and her attempt to imitate the ATC calls. Other family members coming and going. My Mother coming home from her golf complaining how badly she played. Our dog barking. It is a fascinating time capsule of a saturday afternoon a long time ago now.

Some other nerd recorded and cataloged the ATC recordings in .mp3 format.  I just typed in a date/time and knew what time I landed so it was easy to find.
