"Centre, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"

A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While

attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked, "What was your

last known position?"

> >>>

> >>>Student: "When I was number one for takeoff."

> >>>Taxiing down the tarmac, a DC-10 abruptly stopped, turned around and returned to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off.

A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What, exactly, was the problem?"

"The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine,"

explained the flight attendant. "It took us a while to find a new pilot."

> >>>A Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following: Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance

time?"

> >>>

Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must s>peak in English."

> >>>

Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in

Germany. Why must I speak English?"

> >>>

Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent):

"Because you lost the bloody war."

> >>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

> >>>Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on frequency 124.7"

> >>>

Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way,

after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the

runway."

Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702, contact

Departure on frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?"

Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes,

we copied Eastern... we've already notified our caterers."

One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short

of the active runway while a DC- 8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out,

turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee.

Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said,

"What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?"

The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a

real zinger: "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours

and I'll have enough parts for another one."

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a

short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking

location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it

was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following

exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call

sign Speedbird 206.

> >>>

> >>>Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."

> >>>

> >>>Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."

> >>>

> >>>The PA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

> >>>

> >>>Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"

> >>>

> >>>Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."

> >>>

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not

been to Frankfurt before?"

> >>>

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I didn't land."

While taxiing at London's Gatwick Airport, the crew of a US Air flight

departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727.

> >>>

> >>>An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew,

> >>>screaming: "US Air 2771, where the hell are you going?! I told you to

> >>>turn right onto Charlie Taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right

> >>>there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C

> >>>and D, but get it right!

> >>>

> >>>Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting

> >>>hysterically: "God! Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take

> >>>forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I

> >>>tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half

> >>>an hour, and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you,

> >>>and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?"

> >>>

''Yes, ma'am," the humbled crew responded. Naturally, the ground control

communications frequency fell terribly silent after the verbal bashing of

US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground

controller in her current state of mind. Tension in every cockpit out

around Gatwick was definitely running high.

Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone,

asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?"
