>Air Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two, behind a

>
>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 speak 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?”

>One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told b 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.”

>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?”

>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.”
