    Yeah I read that apparently there's some frequency where the radio is low-key designated for meowing. You tune in and just hear various pilots' meows. Absolutely fascinating stuff.

      reading further, apparently the channel is called "guard" and it serves two purposes: meowing and also serious emergencies. it's apparently the one channel that is monitored at all times.
