Most unbelievable conversations between tower and pilots.
Take note please that these are supposed to be real life conversations....
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Tower: "to avoid unnecessary noise, please turn right 45 degrees."
Pilot: "What noise we could be making at 35000 feet?"
Tower: "As much noise as when your 707 would hit 727 in front of you!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
T: "Are you Airbus 320 or 340?"
P: "Obviously A340."
T: "Could you be so nice then and start the other two engines before take-off?"
------------------------------------------------------------------
P: "Good morning Bratislava."
T: "Good morning, just for your information, this is Vienna."
P: "We are on approach for landing Bratislava."
T: "This is really Vienna."
P: "Vienna?"
T: "Yes, Vienna."
P: "But why? We need to get to Bratislava."
T: "So abort landing and turn left!"
---------------------------------------------------------
Tower - sarcastically to pilot who just landed real hard:
"OK, landing doesn't need to be secret, passengers have a right to know they are on tarmac."
Pilot:
"Never mind, they are always clapping anyway..."
--------------------------------------------------------
Pilot of Alitalia airplane which was hit mid-flight by lightning:
"Nearly everything is off, nothing is working even altimeter is doesn't show anything....."
After some five minutes of his whining pilot of another airplane responds:
"So shut up and die as a man!"
--------------------------------------------------------
P: "We don't have enough fuel, need instructions immediately."
T: "What's your position? Can't see you on the radar."
P: "Standing on runway 2, waiting for a tanker..."
--------------------------------------------------------------
T: "Your height and position please?"
P: "180 centimetres, sitting on front left seat..."
-----------------------------------------------------
T: "Do you have enough fuel or you don't?"
P: "Yes"
T: "Yes what?"
P: "Yes Sir!"

After each fight the crew fills in a form - so called Grip - with all the technical problems and faults that appeared during the flight.
Engineers read it, mend the faults and fill in solution of the problem.
