Key Takeaways:

  • An unidentified pilot accidentally broadcast a detailed description of a restaurant's menu over the BWI Ground air traffic control frequency.
  • Ground control promptly informed the pilot that their personal conversation had been publicly transmitted.
  • A different pilot humorously chimed in, remarking that the described food "sounded delicious."

Normal afternoon ground transmissions, when, out of nowhere:

Unidentified Pilot:
“Yeah, they have fajitas, enchiladas, burritos, quesadillas, fish tacos — they got everything!”

[A short silence.]

Ground:
“Uhh, you just broadcasted that on BWI Ground.”

[Another short silence.]

(A Different) Unidentified Pilot:
“Sounded delicious, though.”
