Courtesy of Proud Pops: Actual exchanges... between pilots and control towers... 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?" **************************************************************************************************** From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm f...ing bored!" Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!" Unknown aircraft: "I said I was 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." ****************************************************************************************************** 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?" Student: "When I was number one for takeoff." ***************************************************************************************************** A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after touching down. San Jose Tower Noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able, take the Guadeloupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport." ****************************************************************************************************** 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?" BR Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes, we copied Eastern... we've already notified our caterers." ******************************************************************************************************** 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, "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." ******************************************************************************************************* 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 BA 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, -- I was dropping things and didn't land." ****************************************************************************************************** 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 around Gatwick was definitely running high. Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking: "Ma'am, ..... Was I married to you once?"

I used to be on this forum a few years ago. Account must of been deleted due to inactivity. Any who good to be here. As for me , I am an avid car enthusiast I have owned several honda's, I also Autocross on a national level what last year was the 2007 fsp national champion 99 civic. recently this car has moved to ep. Current daily is 06 gmc CC , love this truck. Just wish it handled better! Maybe thats why im searching for another project car.... so enough about me ...

That's fucking stupid. And the people that came up with that are stupid as well. On those days where they ask people to turn everything off for an hour, I'm gonna turn on everything I own and run all my cars.

You are probably right, I can't agree or disagree, since you've been there and I have not (as you have so clearly pointed out.) I don't think that is the point of most of the crap in this thread, at's more about the stereotyping, and the people that you are speaking of (Harley riders that are afraid to ride, making things dangerous for others) don't help. In fact, I saw a post on Facebook from a "Biker group" member that didn't help the cause, by looking for a band that will play music that "bikers would like" and I'm thinking that I know bikers that listen to country, some that like classic rock, some that are into heavy metal. So, the bikers don't do anything to help the image, from within the groups. Overall, I'm more disappointed that Serpent can't take any humor out of, and and agree to disagree on some things. Life's too short to be so uptight about things.

Sorry, I should have put this out there before but I don't really care one way or another. I've never been there, like you said so it makes no difference to me. I was just throwing some wood on the fire.

This ones for Cattani ... "An almighty Monday TTT" LOL

Will do DArk, here are a few pics for yall

Why is it always taboo to make an opinion about any other race publicly unless it's a diss on white people? I call THAT racist. Always thinking everything is racist UNLESS it's about white people. Now THAT is what I call ignorance and it's spread nation wide in this country by supposed minorities. People need to learn how to talk about other ethnicities without calling racism so fast.

yeah but why do they go there??? it's not for them. they just show up and fuck up everyone's day. now they even sell frigging beer because of these people..just what everyone needs a drink to go ride a road they can't handle. great.

Read all of the above posts and tell me this isn't "stir the pot material" again. P.S. Obama sucks and is the worst president ever.

I'd like to sell my house for what I paid for it, but.... I'll check back later this week, if you still have them. GLWS
