The storty invloves an Air BC (British Comumbia) BAe 146, heard one morning several years ago over westren Canada. The flight, which we shall number ' Air BC 123' was inbound to vancouver International Airport, Crusing at FL 280 and was 75 nm out from its destination.
Vancouver Centre: Air BC 123, can you meet a requirement to be at FL 1-8 zero by 60 DME Vancouver?
Air BC 123: Negative!
VC: Don't you guys have a powerful speed brake in the tail that gives you a high rate of descent?
Air BC 123: Yes sir, that's affirmative, but its used for MY mistakes, not YOURS!

A rib-tickling exchange on 133.0, the apron clearence Delivery Freq. for perth.
Beech 200: Ahh, perth clearence delivery this is November India Charlie, we're on the ground Jandakot, request Airways clearance for Rottnest.
Perth ACD: Roger, november India Charlie, Clearence, track Jandakot direct Rottnest, cruise 1500 Feet, Squawk 4611.
( 30 Seconds Pass... and then .....)
