Eastern Express 8310 has a ICAO code of BBQ and the tower controller in Philadelphia accidentally calls them BARBECUE 🤣 Via ATC

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet the pilot sounds like hank from breaking bad a lil😭

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet 🤣🤣🤣

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Taxiways on the south end of ORD.

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet 👏

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet There was a taxiway intersection at ORD a few years back that was BBQ. Made me hungry every time i saw it. 😂

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet 🤣👏

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet I had one of these fly into COU for a Mizzou Hoops charter, and exclusively called them Barbecue for the exact reason the other controller did. Too good of a code to NOT call them BBQ.

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Kennedy Steve would have had a field day with this. I miss him.

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet "Tower, i have a phone number for you.."

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Sounds like a @Airforceproud95 video

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet @InfantryPilot I saw an ATC video where the pilot said "Hawa...Alaska..." when calling back XD

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Hahaha they fly into State College occasionally and I wish our controllers would say BBQ 😂

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet It’s because they’re based in KC and well .. barbecue

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Accidentally? Of course they did.

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Interesting. Former Hillwood Airways (HWA) rebranded as Eastern Air Express (BBQ) under Eastern Air Holdings, which also operates (new) Eastern Airlines (EAL), formerly Dynamic Airways. I can't find any connection to "BBQ". That had to be a conscious decision. I like the whimsy.

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Right?!

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet That's the 73 classic that comes in occasionally, yeah? I've got pictures of him

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet We have plane with tail reg as KGB and KFC

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet 👀🤣

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Honestly it is an oversight lol

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Lol!

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet This can rival tankee yango

@theATCapp 😂

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Also the airport code at Barbuda.

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet The controller was probably hungry.

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet 🤣🤣🤣

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Why would you call them anything else. Over year them called barbecue before

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet I’ve been called worse.

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet 🤣

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Flight sim X type conversation

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet Oh damn they cooked lol

@theATCapp @LadyAstroJet 🤣
