We all have our favorite controllers, some of them with their 'signature phrases and styles'. I'll throw this one out for listeners, pilots, and controllers -- what are some of the good 'signatures' that you've heard out there? Do you have one that you use?
I've noticed that after requesting and/or recieving a clearance from my local tower or TRACON, I'll usually finish my readback including "thank you" or "thanks". The funny part to me is that I'm not concentrating on inserting it -- it's coming naturally.
