Heard over tower frequency at our local airport recently. Left me crying and difficult to talk on radio.
Unknown aircraft:
“Err — Tower — altimeter?”
Tower:
“Go ahead, Altimeter.”

Key Takeaways:
- A pilot radioed the tower reporting an altimeter issue.
- The pilot's callsign was "Altimeter," which is unusual and possibly a mistake.
- The exchange was brief and somewhat unclear.
- The situation left the listener emotional and speechless.
