Short Final
Overheard in IFR Magazine‘s “On the Air” This comes from a search and rescue pilot at Canadian Forces Base in Bagotville, Quebec. It happened late one night during bad weather, as heard over the tower radio: Helicopter pilot: Roger, I’m holding at 3,000 feet over the beacon. Second voice: (Panic in voice) No, you can’t be doing that…I’m holding at 3,000 feet over that beacon. Helicopter pilot: (Short pause) You idiot, you’re my copilot.
