    Default Ground Control

    AVIATION HUMOUR

    For all you aviation fans ... Who says pilots and controllers have no sense
    of humour? Following are accounts of actual exchanges between airline and
    control towers from around the world.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    During taxi, the crew of a US Air departure flight to Ft. Lauderdale, made a
    wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. The irate ground controller
    (a female) lashed out at the US Air crew screaming, "US Air 2771, where are
    you going? I told you to turn right on "Charlie" taxi way; you turned right
    on "Delta". Stop right there. I know it's difficult to tell the difference
    between C's and D's but get it right."

    Continuing her lashing to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting
    hysterically, "God, you've screwed everything up; it'll take forever to sort
    this out. You stay right there and don't move until I tell you to. You can
    expect progressive taxi instructions in about a half hour and I want you to go
    exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you. You got that,
    US Air 2771??"

    The humbled crew responded: "Yes Ma'am".

    Naturally, the "ground control" frequency went terribly silent after the
    verbal bashing of US Air Flight 2771. No one wanted to engage the irate ground
    controller in her current state. Tension in every ****pit at LGA was running
    high. Shortly after the controller finished her admonishment of the U.S. Air
    crew, an unknown male pilot broke the silence and asked, "Wasn't I married
    to you once?"
