I read a story a long time ago about a pilot who would say to the tower in Biloxi "Guess who?" After this happened a few times, someone turned off the runway lights and said "Biloxi; guess where?"

Great Stuff!

[secret garden]

Now that's funny!

[Americanwolf]

Love them funny as heck... especially the dreaded 7 engine approach comment.

[secret garden]

I was hoping someone would explain that one to the rest of us nonaviators...

[Andika]

We need a smile or two these days! I had a good laugh at this and have copied to send to a few friends so they, too, can enjoy it!

This is hysterical, I'll haul some friends in.

Once upon a time there was Braniff Airlines, and God only knows why they decided to paint their planes in pastels. Powder blue, blushing pink, all that kind of stuff. The Love Field airport people in Dallas had a good time. One Braniff pilot asked if he could make take-off and was told, "Yes, dear. Ta-ta!"

The military plane was a single engine aircraft.

The other plane had 7 engines.

That one cracked me up. ;o)

[Radix]

"Germany. Why must I speak English?"

Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war."

They  do have a tendency to forget that at times.

"Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I didn't land."

hehehehe!!

Oooooh, now I get it! Thanks DC!

[OSHA]

B-52's have eight engines.

[CindyDawg]

funny fly stuff:')

[dixiechick2000]

This is hilarious!
I'm gonna send it off to
hubby to pass along to
his old squadron buddies.

Thanks for the post, and
the laffs. ;o)

[dixiechick2000]

You're very welcome. ;o)

Actually, I should have said
7 working engines.

bump for later...

My guess is the pilot of the fighter jet was in either a single engine (f-16) or duel engine jet (f-15) if their engines are not working properly they become nothing more then a heavy piece of metal defying gravity and losing. where as the B-52 has eight engines. and if it is minus 1 it can still fly as long as it has fuel..

Basically the fighter pilot was saying... Oh yeah his emergency with 7 engines is going to be more dangerous then my semi function fighter... with a lot of tounge in cheek. :)

the fight jock always think they take precident over all other military aircraft... the are also notoriously stingy about how their aircraft are... I have seen pilots try to have there jets grounded due to the smallest problems, but that is for another thread...(btw to all fighter pilots out there.. I know you all are not like that, just the air force ones...) (j/k ... love all you guys thanks for the service.)

I am learning quite a bit this evening. All I knew about planes before was that I needed benadryl to fly without white knuckles. Thanks!

"Centre, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"

"Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"
