We had just coasted in off the NAT track and were talking to Moncton Center. We were getting light to moderate turbulence and asked for ride reports. The controller asked us if we knew who was on Aer Lingus Flight 001 that was about 100 miles ahead of us. We were a little confused and replied that we did not. He told us it was the Pope on his way to Boston and if he couldn't get a smooth ride why did we think we would have any better luck. Hung on at 350 and rode it out.

From AvWeb - Monday, 12 Jan '15
Saturday, December 6, approximately 18:00 local time, I am sitting on the ramp at KTMB waiting on an IFR clearance. Here is the conversation I hear: N1234: "Tamiami Ground, N1234 at T hangar, ready for taxi." KTMB Ground: "N1234, I don't see you. Taxi up to and hold short of taxiway E." [pause] KTMB Ground: "N1234, I see you now. Confirm you are a flight of two." N1234: "Affirmative. I am a flight of two." KTMB Ground: "N1234, taxi E to 9R; cleared to cross 31." N1234: "N1234 taxiing E to 9R. Cleared to cross 31." KTMB Ground: "N1234, I confirm you are a flight of two." N1234: "Affirmative. I am a flight of two." KTMB Ground: "N1234, I only see one of you." N1234: "Of course you only see one. My cabin windows are tinted. There are two of us in here." KTMB Ground: "N1234, 'a flight of two' means there are two aircraft." N1234: "How could I fly two planes?" KTMB Ground: "N1234, 'a flight of two' means there are two aircraft and one pilot is talking for both aircraft." N1234: "No. There is just my plane, with two people inside." KTMB Ground: "N1234, you should have filed 'two souls on board' and not put 'flight of two' in the remarks. I will adjust your flight plan." N1234: "Sorry. Thanks." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Mayerle |

Last weekend, heard on MSN approach/departure.
Cessna: madison departure, cessna xxxxx 1800 climbing 3,000, runway heading MSN app/dep: cessna xxxxx, climb and maintain 5,000, say on course heading Cessna: cessna xxxxx climb and maintain 5,000, stay on course heading.... MSN departure: cessna xxxx, SAY on course heading. Cessna xxxx: cessna xxxx, i am on course now.... (Mic keys, then silence...) likely msn approach just taking the highroad. Haha It took all my self control to not call this dumbass out on air... Also, i think this may have been a light sport of some kind, might not have been a cessna |
Flying around in UAE air space, copilot swears the controller used to work Houston Center, so I dare him to ask, and he does
Co-pilot: Did you by chance work Houston Center UAE: No but I did work Denver back in the 80s ME: No kidding, did you know a guy there named Billy B? UAE: Yes I remember him Me: That's my dad UAE: Wow I feel old, thanks! |
Urban Legend:
Center: "United XXX, have you captured the Localizer?" United XXX: "No but we have him surrounded!" |
At Dca about a month or so ago :
Grnd : brickyard xxxx do you have both running ? RPa xxxx : we have both of them running and a flight attendant running Grnd : (chuckles ) let me know when you are ready to taxi |
During the last "blood moon" event, I was working ORD departures at about 0530. RPA asked for a 30 degree deviation so the FA could see the moon.
I approved the request, and he responded, "if you knew what she looked like, you'd understand." I assured him that I understood completely. I hope that it worked in his favor, too. |
