[nilesfunnies] Fw: Control Tower



Control Tower

Supposedly excerpts of the most curious but authentic radio communications
between Cockpit and Tower Air Controllers

Tower: ‘To avoid noise, please turn right 45 degrees .‘
Pilot: ‘What noise could we possibly make at 35.000ft?‘
Tower: ‘The noise your 707 will make when colliding with the 727 before
you!'

Tower: ‘Are you an Airbus 320 or 340?‘
Pilot: ‘An A 340, of course!‘
Tower: ‘Well then, would you please start your other two engines before
taxiing to take-off?'

Pilot: ‘Good morning, Bratislava.‘
Tower: ‘Good morning. Please note: This is Vienna.‘
Pilot: ‘I am now on landing approach to Bratislava.‘
Tower: ‘This really is Vienna.‘
Pilot: ‘Vienna?‘
Tower: ‘Yes.‘
Pilot: ‘But why? We wanted to go to Bratislava.‘
Tower: 'Okay. Then abort your landing approach and turn left.'


Pilot from an Alitalia flight, who lost half his cockpit instruments when
lightning hit him: ‘We nearly lost everything. Nothing works anymore. Even
the altitude indicator doesn’t show anything ........‘
After 5 minutes complaining, the voice of another pilot comes over the
comm: ‘Oh shut up and die like a man!'

Pilot: ‘We’re running low on fuel. Please advise.‘
Tower: 'What is your position? We don’t have you on our scope.‘
Pilot: ‘We’re standing on runway 2 and are waiting for an eternity for the
fuel truck.'

Pilot: ‘Tower, request take-off clearance.‘
Tower: 'Sorry , we don’t have your flightplan. Where do you want to go?‘

Pilot: ‘Like every Monday, to Salzburg.‘
Tower: ‘But today is Tuesday!‘
Pilot: 'What? Then it’s our day off!'

Tower: ‘Height and position?‘
Pilot: ‘I am 1.80 m and I’m sitting in the front on the left side.'

Tower to a private plane: ‘How many souls on board?‘
Pilot: 'Pilot, two passengers and a dog.‘
Tower, after a hard landing: ‘I take it the dog did that landing?'

Tower: ‘Do you have enough fuel or not?‘
Pilot: ‘Yes.‘
Tower: ‘Yes, what?‘
Pilot: ‘Yes, Sir!!!'

Tower: ‘Please give us your estimated arrival.‘
Pilot: 'Hmmmm... Tuesday would be nice for me.'
