The one about the DC-10 and San Jose is true. A disabled friend used to listen to the chatter from the airport and overheard it. BTW American operated DC-10’s out of San Jose for years. It has relatively short runways - especially the Main.

Thanks!

An oldie:

ATC: “N123YZ, say altitude.”
N123YZ: “ALTITUDE!”
ATC: “N123YZ, say airspeed.”
N123YZ: “AIRSPEED!”
ATC: “N123YZ, say cancel IFR.”
N123YZ: “Eight thousand feet, one hundred fifty knots indicated.”

A pilot landed in Berlin, he asked for detailed taxi instructions. The controller asked “Have you never been to Berlin before?” Pilot responded, “Yes, many times, years ago. But it was at night, and we did not land!”

Years ago I was on a flight and must have appeared nervous, because the guy next to me asked ‘what is your favorite plane’. I have no idea why I said ‘the F16’. He smiled and handed me his F16 pin. I keep it with my jewelry;)

A C5A pilot friend of mine shared a story of when he was at either Ramstein or Frankfurt awaiting clearance.

Lufthansa pilot on clearance frequency: “ATC, Lufthansa Schwer um Freigabe.”

ATC: “Lufthansa Heavy, you must request clearance in English.”

Lufthansa: “Why? I am a German, in Germany, at a German airport. Why do I need to request clearance in English?”

ATC: “Maybe it is because they won the war.”
