    Someone's doing something wrong here....


    Ron Wagner, former pilot in the US Air Force (USAF) 89th Airlift Wing (the “Presidential Wing”), recalls the best pilot-ATC argument ever on Quora;

    ‘My old time aviation buddies can skip this because it’s an old mythical story. Probably didn’t happen, but if it did, this was the best pilot-controller argument of all time!

    ‘Allegedly the German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. German controllers are tough and run airports like, well, like Germans were known to run things. No sense of humor. No room for error. And they were quick with tongue lashings for anyone who didn’t obey perfectly and quickly. They, it is alleged, not only expect one to know one’s gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them.

    ‘A British Airways Boeing 747 call sign Speedbird 206 (the call sign for British Airways jets is Speedbird) landed and was handed over to ground control and given taxi instructions.

    Speedbird 206: “Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway.”
    Ground: “Speedbird 206 taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven.”

    ‘The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

    Ground: “Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?”
    Speedbird 206: “Stand by, Ground, I’m looking up our gate location now.”
    Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): “Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?”
    Speedbird 206 (coolly): “Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark … and I didn’t land.”

    Place I ate last evening was playing only 80s music. Hall & Oates is stuck in my head. :-(
    I've tried to have them change to Deep Tracks or Classic Vinyl.

    When I am doing testing on mics at the stores and I have my speaker tester at the headend, I place my iphone at the mic and play stuff like this....even if you don't know the words, the tunes stick in your head.

    Employees and managers crack up, and later tell me they can't get the tunes out of their heads.

    Lol, bread and butter, reminds me of the song Ain't got no home in Lost Boys.

    Maybe it said "Firestone" right on it.

    She probably thinks Goodyear tires are only good for 12 months.

    I have to refrain from mentioning Kumho tires as this is a family website.

    Not sure; perhaps a person with a quasi-truck parking like a bonehead with a 'real' truck?

    How many times have I seen someone back into a parking space-POORLY.
    Most likely it took him 5 tries and still screwed it up.

    Parking garage was practically full and that bonehead (👍) is so special he decided to take up two spots.

    It’s all about him!
