Key Takeaways:

  • A humorous exchange occurred at Page Field Airport (FMY) between air traffic control and a Grumman pilot.
  • The controller asked about the number of "souls on board."
  • The pilot's reply, "Two S-O-Bs," was a comical abbreviation for "souls on board" that sounded like an expletive.
