Talking to the Tower (from Vol 1, No. 4)

Here are some conversations that airline passengers normally will never hear.  The following are accounts of actual exchanges between airline pilots and control towers around the world:

Tower: Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles.

Delta 351: Give us another hint.  We have digital watches.

 

Tower: TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 degrees.

TWA 2341: Center, we are at 35,000 feet.  How much noise can we make up here?

Tower: Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?

 

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?"

The student replied honestly: "When I was number one for take-off."

 

A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll-out after touching down.  San Jose Tower told the pilot: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able.  If you are not able, take the Guadalupe exit off of Highway 101, make a right at the light, and return to the airport."

 

From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long take-off queue: I'm f-ing bored!

Ground Traffic Control: Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!

Unknown aircraft: I said I'm f-ing bored, not f-ing stupid!

 

O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound.

United 329: Approach... I've always wanted to say this... I've got the little Fokker in sight!
