Ever have one of those flights? You just sound like a bozo every time you press the PTT?
Flew down to Gaithersburg, penetrating the dreaded ADIZ to visit friends for lunch. I think I bungled just about every radio call. Lot's of "uh's" and pauses. After giving me the cancellation procedures, Potomac Approach asks my intentions. I say, "Well, I'd like to stay with you for a little longer." (yeah, straight out of the AIM). He says, politely, "What approach would you like into GAI?" Me = headslap! I kinda thought he was asking me to cancel in the bass-ackwards way controllers are forced to do so.
Just wasn't on the A-game today. Ordinarily, I pride myself on my radiowork. Gotta keep it professional to get respect out of the controllers. Today I sounded like Joe-Bob Bumbleweed. Ugh.
