My favorite scene from The Incredibles. Per IMDB trivia:
Helen Parr (Elastigirl) is exceptionally accurate with her use of radio protocol while flying. "VFR on top" indicates she is flying in the regime of Visual Flight Rules 'on top' of a cloud cover. She then requests vectors to the "initial", the initial landing approach. "Angels 10" is her altitude call - ten thousand feet. "Track east" is her current direction of travel from her current position. Her "buddy-spiked" mayday is US Air Force code, as a warning not to fire, given to an aircraft who has radar lock on a friendly - in this case, Helen was referring to the missiles she thought were fired by friendlies. "Transmitting in the Blind Guard" is a call on the emergency frequency where 2-way communication has not been established.

charliemsays...The use of the word "repeat" irks me to no end.
Unless you are requesting the fire base to fire another salvo, never, ever say repeat over the net.
Say again...I say again.
