Overheard in IFR Magazine‘s “On the Air”

This comes from a search-and-rescue pilot at Canadian Forces Base, Bagotville, Qubec. It allegedly happened late one night during bad weather, as heard over the tower radio:

First Voice (helicopter pilot):
“Roger, I’m holding at 3,000 over the beacon.”

Second Voice (panicky):
“No, you can’t be doing that – I’m holding at 3,000 over that beacon!”

[Brief pause.]

First Voice (again):
“You idiot – you’re my co-pilot.”
