Oh yes! ;-) However, if they said (or screamed) those things to air
traffic control, the controllers might start to suspect that pilots
(esp. fighter pilots) are not demigods after all. So, we teach them to
sound like d/gs on the radio to perpetuate the myth, err I mean to show
ATC who's boss...

I have just put together a little "RT Manual" in an attempt to
help our student pilots learn more quickly what to say on the
radio during their flying lessons. For some reason, the radio
procedures are the most difficult for most of them to grasp.
