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!"
haha! Airline humor!
"TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees."
"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?"
Ha
