Lol true.

I actually like the cheaper Bic “Round Stic” pens.

Whatever pen is there..... who actually uses strips though?

 

[CaptainObvious]

Yeah the bic round red and black taped together, although I do have one that’s double sided too

I like to use a marker so when the radar controller grabs the strip from the drop tube and tries to pull the strip out, his hands get all jacked

 

[GulfBravoPapa]

That's cute you still use drop tubes

 

[BrocolliRob]

That’s not entirely true, we had a lot of airport control, all which was non radar 3-5,000ft and down at ZMP in my area. Sure we have strips but are they actually used.... depends on the controller. It’s that way here too at the TRACON, minus the non radar

Ok but you’d still have EDST. If your not on ERAM you literally only have strips.

Whichever has the runniest ink available so everything smears. What a great question!

Completely forgot about these! Used them at my last facility. Loved them...

 

[squawkIFR]

Any kind of pink or baby blue gel pen. Has to be a gel pen though.

Sharpie ultra fine retractable. Never smears.
