Very funny. Air traffic control talking with pilots, and their quotes are recorded.

"Boy, am I ever f...ed up this morning." After a lengthy pause a young lady air traffic controller demanded: "Aircraft making that last transmission, please identify yourself." There was an even lengthier pause, and then a voice said: "Lady, I'm not that f...ed up."
That was awesome!!!

A young, newly checked out local controller at Logan Airport granted the request of a Trans Portuguese "707" to use non-active 15R (the longest runway) for departure and cleared the plane to "taxi into position and hold". Seeing what he thought was a short pause coming in crossing operations, he told the crew to "Be ready and spool 'em up!" The old "oil burner" sat on the runway with fire walled engines belching clouds of black smoke over nearby neighborhoods for many minutes. Only when the ground controller announced that airport fire apparatus was responding to a major fire in East Boston did anyone in the tower realize that the rookie (now stirring his newly poured coffee) had forgotten the plane and everything from Orient Heights to the Mystic River Bridge had disappeared in his exhaust. (Ack 'a former ATC')

A few years back when the Citation X was new to the world and not as commonly known as it is today, a Delta 757 pulls along side one at the end of the runway and keys the mike:
Delta: "Uh tower, Delta 1234, any chance we can get in front of the little guy, so he doesn't slow us up?"
Tower: "Delta 1234, unless you're filed at 525 knots true and flight level 450, this will probably be the last time you see him."
(I bet that shut him up pretty quick!
)

I was holding short at 19R at kilo yesterday at SNA waiting for take off. A centurion was in position and holding on 19R and just behind him was a Southwest 737, number two for takeoff. Both on the same runway. The southwest gets on with tower and asks "Uh, should we hold here for wake turbulence from this departing heavy in front of us?" Tower gets on: "How much time do you need?" Southwest: "Oh, at least 5 or 6 minutes". Tower: "Centurion 65A, contact SoCal, have nice day." Tower again: "Southwest 465, caaaaution wake turbulence, cleared for takeoff 19R." The southwest guys came on the radio laughing their A$$'s off, barely able to get a word out but finally mustered to say "cleared for takeoff." I'm sure many of you have heard something similar but I thought it was funny hear this.
