Ground: Cessna 1234 what do you want to do?
Student: euh well euh that's what I'm not sure of, my flaps go "ert err ert err"
Different instructor comes on the radio and tells him to taxi to parking.
HAHAHA!!! Sometimes I wondered if the "eeeuuhhh" was taught in ground school... They didn't teach me that one!

Approach: (Excitedly) Continental XXX contact tower!
Pilot: Roger over to [background radio altimeter "One Hundred"] tower.

30 seconds go by...

Pilot: Continental XXX with you on the go around.
Departure: Continental XXX roger, fly runway heading, climb maintain 5,000.

Got a pretty good laugh out of that one. We were on downwind and watched him go around. Pretty funny watching it all go down.

Supposedly DLH was really peeved and demanded the Port Authority pull the ATC tapes and they tracked the voice down to a TWA F/O who was fired but not sure if that is really true.
I heard it was a Pan Am Pilot.

Me: Ugh, thanks FedEx...
Unless I physically cannot get the coffee cup to my mouth because of the bumps, its going to be a smooth report.

Enroute from SEA to BZN, last flight out. I'm flying with an older captain, one of those guys who just doesnt care anymore, but in a funny way we're about 15 miles east of seattle when we get the call from SEA Center

"Horizon XXX proceed direct FEBUS, direct BZN"

Captain replies: "Uhhhhhhh, say again...direct Beavis, like Beavis & Butthead?"

Seattle replies: "Horizon XXX, negative...Foxtrot, Echo, Bravo, Uniform, Sierra"

Needless to say, i was dying...i wanted to make a PA to the passengers saying "Point of interest, off to the left you can see Beavis from Beavis & Butthead"
