Top stuff, cheered me (stuck in work) up!
O'Hare Approach: USA212, cleared ILS runway 32L approach, maintain 250 knots. USA212: Roger approach, how long do you need me to maintain that speed? O'Hare Approach: All the way to the gate if you can. USA212: Ah, OK, but you better warn ground control. (the above one wins for me) Last edited by metalangel; 29-03-09 at 04:28 PM. |

or "Controller: AF123, say call sign of your wingman. Pilot: Uh... approach, we're a single ship. Controller: oh, oh ****! You have traffic! " But the winner is http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=125388 |
