Few aviation jokes.
Posted: Thu May 11, 2006 10:39 pmAlright just got my new issue of Aircraft magazine, and got some jokes there, dont know if they have been posted before, but they were new to me.
While taxiing past aircraft stands, and noticing some passengers boarding the rear entrance of Finnair DC9, the captain remarked to the F/O: "Look at all those people disappearing into Finnair!"
"Sadly artificial intelligence will probably never be a match for natural stupidity". Bill Cox.
Some years ago, streams of RAF Vulcan B2s were flying into their base at Manston in marginal weather. Once on the ground, and after roll out, each palot in turn was asked: "What height did you see the runway lights?" Answers such as 250 and 300 confirmed that pilots had landed within safe limits-all except the last. That radio sequence follows:
XXXX: On the runway from approach, which dispersal please?
Tower: Back to Alpha. At what height did you see the lights, please?
Pause
XXXX: What lights?
ATC: Piper N4444D, traffic at your two o'clock, 500ft below you.
Piper N4444D: Well we see a light coming towards us...
ATC: Look again- there's probably an aircraft behind that light.
