Short Final: Jackpot

After dropping off our Angel Flight West passenger we were climbing out of Henderson, Nevada. On the guard frequency (121.5) we heard a sound not heard before. We reported the transmission to Las Vegas Departure. The exchange went this way:

Departure: “Does it sound like someone is playing a video game?”

Me: “Actually, more like someone hit the jackpot.”

Departure: “Sigh, wish it were me.”
