A man called into air traffic control after his pilot had a fatal heart attack. Rather than sound completely panicked, the man had a HILARIOUS response to the unfortunate situation.
An air traffic control tower suddenly lost communication with a small twin-engine aircraft.
A moment later the tower landline rang and was answered by on of the controllers.
The terrified passenger riding with the pilot lost communications was on a cellular phone and yelled: “Mayday mayday..!”
My pilot had an instant and fatal heart attack. I grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket and he had told me before we took off he had the tower on his speed dial memory.
I am flying upside down at 18,000 feet and traveling at 180 mph. The controller in the tower had put him on speaker phone immediately.
“Calm down, we acknowledge you and we’ll guide you down after a few questions. The first thing is not to panic, just remain calm!!”
He began his series of questions: Tower: “How do you know you are traveling at 18,000 feet?”
Aircraft: “I can see that it read 18,000 feet on the altimeter in front of me.”
Tower: “Okay, that’s good, remain calm. How do you know you’re traveling at 180 mph?”
Aircraft: “I can see that it reads 180 mph on the Airspeed indicator in front of me.”
Tower: Okay, this is great so far, but it’s heavily overcast, so how do you know you’re flying upside down?
Aircraft: “The S*** in my pants is running down the back of my neck!!”
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good ...
