Overheard by United Airlines Pilot on landing at Frankfurt Airport: NOTE: Britiah Airways planes are known as Speedbird on the airwaves......
Speedbird:
'Good morning Frankfurt, Speedbird 206, clear of the active.'
Ground:
'Guten morgan, taxi to your gate.'
The BA 747 pulls onto the main taxiway and stops.
Ground (brusquely):
'Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?'
Speedbird:
'Standby ground, I'm looking up the gate location now.'
Ground (with typical German impatience):
'Speedbird 206, have you never been to Frankfurt before?'
Speedbird (coolly):
'Yes, several times in 1944, but I didn't stop'
