Airline Piloting

A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked, &quot;What was your last known position?&quot; <br><br>Student: &quot;When I was number one for takeoff&quot;. <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, &quot;What, exactly, was the problem?&quot; &quot;The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine,&quot; explained the flight attendant. &quot;It took us a while to find a new pilot.&quot; <br>--------------------------------------------------------<br>&quot;TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees..&quot; &quot;Center, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?&quot; &quot;Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?&quot; <br>--------------------------------------------------------<br>Tower: &quot;Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!&quot; Delta 351: &quot;Give us another hint! We have digital watches!&quot; <br>.............................................. ............................<br>One day, the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee. Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, &quot;What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?&quot; <br><br>The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: &quot;I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one.&quot; <br>--------------------------------------------------------<br>There's a story about the military pilot calling for a priority landing, because his single-engine jet fighter was running &quot;a bit peaked&quot;. Air Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two, behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down. <br><br>&quot;Ah&quot;, the fighter pilot remarked, &quot; The dreaded Seven-engine approach<br><br>
