Wonderful story! There seems to be a healthy number of other pilots / aviation enthusiasts here, so I'll ask - did they really use the OVER & OUT in aviation phraseology back then? Modern aviation RT omits these, so I wonder if it is a journalistic addition.

FWIW, Apollo astronauts used "over" and "out" independently (never in conjunction) which is still the protocol for maritime radio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedure_word https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedure_word
