Humor in the Air
Pilot: November 123 on a very short final, understand I'm cleared to land?
Tower: Oh, who's talking?
Pilot: Me
Radar: Flight 1234, for noise abatement turn right 45 degrees
Pilot: Roger, but we are at 35.000 feet, how much noise can we make up here?
Radar: Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 707 makes when it hits a 727?
Radar: CRX 500, are you on a course to SUL?
Pilot: More or less
Radar: So proceed a little bit more to SUL
Tower: N2234, are you a Cessna?
Pilot: No, I'm a male Hispanic
Pilot: ... request heading 110 to avoid
Radar: To avoid what?
Pilot: To avoid delay
Pilot: Radar, this is Cessna 4675
Radar: Cessna 4675, go ahead
Pilot: Radar, I don't seem to be making much progress here. How is my ground speed?
Radar: Well, all depends. If you are a hang glider, you are doing very well.
Captain: (after landing a bit rough) Ladies and Gentlemen, it's happy hour. You just received two landings for the price of one.
