Another pilot joke

MississippiBoy · 07-17-13, 10:15 AM

The airport in the city of Frankfurt, Germany was well known for its irritable and impatient traffic controllers. They not only expected you to know your parking location but how to get there without any assistance from them. The following exchange occurred between Frankfurt ground and a British Airways 747 (radio call Speedbird 206) after landing.

Speedbird 206: "Good morning Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of the active." Meaning, we're off the runway.
Ground: "Guten morgan, taxi to your gate."
The British Airways 747 pulls onto the main taxiway and stops.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, ground, I'm looking up the gate location now."
Ground (with typical German impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you never flown to Frankfurt before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, once. In 1944. But it was nighttime. And I didn't land."

That's a good one, but it's pretty dated and could have worked 20 years or so ago...but not today, unless there are commercial pilots in their 80's, it just doesn't play.
