Aircraft/control tower conversations.

I cant vouch for the authenticity but they are funny anyway.

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

A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after touching down.
San Jose Tower Noted: [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=red][COLOR=red][FONT=Arial]'American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able.

A Pan Am 727 flight, waiting for start clearance in Munich, overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=blue][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]' Ground, what is our start clearance time?'[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]

Lufthansa (in English):[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=blue][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 'I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?'[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent):[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][FONT=Arial] [COLOR=#004000][COLOR=#004000]'Because you lost the bloody war!'[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0080][COLOR=#ff0080] [/COLOR][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]

I thought these were very good....

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, [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=red][COLOR=red][FONT=Arial]'What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?' [/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]
The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=blue][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]'I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one.'[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]

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: [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=blue][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]'Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway.' [/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]
Ground: [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=red][COLOR=red][FONT=Arial]'Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate ***** One-Seven.'[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]
The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop. [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]

Ground:[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][FONT=Arial] [COLOR=red][COLOR=red]'Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?'[/COLOR][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]
Speedbird 206: [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=blue][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]'Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now.'[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]
Ground round (with quite arrogant impatience):[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][FONT=Arial] [COLOR=red][COLOR=red]'Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?' [/COLOR][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]
Speedbird 206 (coolly): [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=blue][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]'Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I didn't land.' [/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]

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: [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=red][COLOR=red][FONT=Arial]'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!' [/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=blue][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]
[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][FONT=Arial]
Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically:[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=red][COLOR=red][FONT=Arial]'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?' [/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=blue][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]
'Yes, ma'am,'[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]the humbled crew responded.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]
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: [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][COLOR=green][COLOR=green][FONT=Arial]'Wasn't I married to you once?'[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=5][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

Damn. I need to read threads from the most recent backwards.......

Funny though

Are they real or what? Is that what pilots do while ferrying 200 peeps around at 500mph?

And they say its the safest mode of transport? Not sure i will be thinking that next time i fly.

Was funny though

It's alright because the software takes care of the flying ... you should hear the conversations we're having when we're writing the software though ... then you definitely wouldn't fly ...
