Those were hilarious. The one with the DC-10 was just awesome!

Funny about the BA 747 at Frankfurt

When I first heard it.....in the 1960's it was a BEA Viscount at Dusseldorf during the 1950's and was said to have been true .....Well it went......"Have you ever been here before ??"...."Yes, in 1944 but I didn't stop"


Not may  BA 747 pilots woould have flown in the war but a lot of BEA Viscount crew did so it might have some truth to to it. :-/

Years ago as a teenager I was riding in the Cessna belonging to a business associate of my now late father when we suffered an engine failure on takeoff and came down in a recently plowed field where we nosed over on our back. As he was shutting down the fuel and electrical my dad's freind radioed the tower to report the mishap. The controller must have thought we had landed dead stick as he instructed that the aircraft be pushed off the runway and we were to await assistance, to which the pilot responded:
"Can you send us some extra guys to help turn us upright?"
