2 helicopters in quick succession give Caldwell a run for its money.
On the second clip, there's an edit between him being 2 miles out and then 1 mile out because I was changing some scanner settings at the time ('doh!). There's also silences and irrelevant calls removed throughout.
Some of the long silences between calls are real time, though, and were left there to show just how confused ppl must've been!
The value of this post is that it shows how important it is to be clear on initial calls with:
- who you are
- where you are
- what you want
In the 2nd pilot's defense, one of the blocks sounded like it was caused by tower when he said something like "what do you want to do?" As the pilot tried to immediately respond, tower then kept talking. I think he was probably still flustered from the last helicopter which had left about 3 mins earlier.
