Airline Piloting
A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked, "What was your last known position?" <br><br>Student: "When I was number one for takeoff". <br>--------------------------------------------------------<br>Taxiing down the tarmac, the DC10 abruptly stopped, turned around and returned to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off. <br><br>A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What, exactly, was the problem?"

Did you make it all by yourself?" <br><br>The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one." <br>--------------------------------------------------------<br>There's a story about the military pilot calling for a priority landing, because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked". Air Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two, behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down. <br><br>"Ah", the fighter pilot remarked, " The dreaded Seven-engine approach<br><br>
