What is the flight from Florida to the Bahamas like in a single engine?

You probably couldn't hear it but outside of your range an airline pilot may have done his pre-landing briefing or called the ramp to find out if his gate was open, etc on guard by accident. What you heard was a very normal response of someone else monitoring it letting him know he was on Guuuaaaarrrrrrdd. Occasionally you'll hear some funny responses to accidental guard calls, sometimes you'll get sport score updates. And some times unfortunately you may hear an ELT that you can report.

ahhh! Thanks. Makes sense. I was so confused. Had I known the etiquette I probably would have found more humor in it.

Yeah once you know about the Guard Police and the funny voices saying Guarrrrrd in various ways, you kinda almost have to listen in... which we're all supposed to be doing when we can anyway... so it's oddly fun.

It's especially good on Talk Like A Pirate Day.
