[Phil Hystad]

The phrase "Over and Out" was a key part of the brief training lessons for the young female scientist near the beginning of the movie "Them!".  She was being taught proper protocol of using the radio while searching for
giant ants in a helicopter.

We were trained to use Niner for Nine because it was easier to be sure what you heard in a series of numbers.  It is really important whether you meant Niner thousand or Five thousand feet.  The only time I recall hearing Copy That was in the inane commercial where two actors were conversing with a series of Copy Thats.  I have heard things like Copy Niner Thousand.  To repeat a controllers instruction when it is very important to get it correctly.
