I heard this from my brother, who is a Search
and Rescue pilot at Canadian Forces Base Bagotville, Québec. It's an
apocryphal story that allegedly happened late one night during bad
weather, as heard over the tower radio:
Helicopter Pilot: "Roger, I'm holding at 3000 over
beacon."
Second voice: "NO! You can't be doing that! I'm holding at
3000 over that beacon!"
(Brief pause, then first voice again):
"You fuckwit, you're my
co-pilot."
