Funny Passenger Announcements

Not really a passenger announcement, I don't make many of those in a Cherokee 140:cwm27: But Kansas City approach is usually pretty easy going and loves to crack jokes at the SWA pilots. MKC ground is a different story though...
 
Back when United had the TED airlines, a captain named Bill came on and welcomed us all on "Bill and TEDs excellent adventure".

I thought it was pretty good.
 
Hijacking the thread a little for those of us who don't make passengers yet, but back when I was doing my private, a friend of mine was in the airspace ahead of me talking the NY approach, and wasn't repsponding to approach's calls. Approach eventually terminated him. He did however hear the termination, and call him back to reengage the flight following.

New York Approach's answer was as follows: "Don't push your luck kid."

We all know what "a friend" really means. It was you!
 
hmm.. when atc gives us the ol'e say destination, i normally reply with,"hold on, let me call company"


Then again, that was always boston, always when we were going to Rockland. 055 spruce head, direct. Never changed... The only other option on that path for a colgan 1900 was BHB... not exactly a world of difference :)
 
I was flying on either airtran or sw and before we took off the captain played a harmonica. At first it was funny, then it was somewhat impressive but after 5 minutes it was sort of uncomfortable.

When I was a student pilot I was holding short waiting for trucks to chase a flock of geese off the runway. The tower asked me if I could see the geese and asked what they were doing. I said I had the traffic in sight and they were departing to the southeast.
 
I don't have passengers but I was once flying back to my home and ATC gave me a vector that would have sent my right into P-49, the prohibited area around Pres Bush's ranch. I asked them for another vector because of this. The conversation that followed was:

ATC: Sorry about that, give me a moment and I'll give you another vector
Another pilot: So, would that be controller violation?
ATC(different controller): I'm sorry, please repeat...she went on break.
Pilot: Nevermind
ATC: Right answer
 
while instructing once, the controller ask us "tomahawk, 51T say position" Under my breath and joking I said "position" . .the student then hit the push to talk and bodly said . ."POSITION!". the thing is, he thought I was telling him to say that, and he didnt know i was joking!!
The controller came back with a "UH, WHAT?"

I grabbed the mic, but was laughing so hard I could hardely get through the transmit!

one of my fav's is hearing the crews make the PAX announcements on freq . . . now that is always funny, because now everyone else gets to chime in and tell the crew how imformitive it was!!!
 
When I was working on my CFI one of our schools aircraft was heading south of Atlanta through the class b airspace Atlanta approach came on and asked another aircraft what altitude are you at? We are showing a different altitude reported. The pilots response to yell "oh my god I am so sorry". The instructor who is a company check pilot got on the radio and asked where exaxtly is oh my god airspace is that above FL 600.
 
Since it isn't strictly pax announcements anymore. Working my departure sector with only a P-180 with a female pilot on freq. XYZ airline departs.
Co pilot- Departure XYZ here outta 2.1.
Me- XYZ1234 departure climb maintain XXX turn right heading YYY
Co pilot - up to XXX turn to YYY
Captain - approach how'd you know that was us? He hasn't used our call sign once
Me- the only other a/c is a prop XYZ1234, procede direct ZZZ
Captain (disguised voice) - Direct ZZZ (strange sound in the background like lips buzzing)
Me - thanks XYZ1234
Captain - Howd you still know it was me?
Me - The other pilot is a woman sir, what was that noise in the background?
Captain - Teaching the first officer a lesson.

Had one like that, I was on approach to MLB when I was working on my instrument, the plane ahead of me had a student that was having a rough day with the radios, then: tower said,

"Cessna 1234, cleared for touch and go, say intentions after the touch and go."

Cessna1234: "cleared touch and go, and I'll say intentions after the touch and go"

tower: "Yeah that's real cute buddy, what do you want to do after the touch and go?"

Cessena1234: "ummm uh...."
 
Co-worker of mine was clearing a plane direct Madison, the pilot read it back garbled, so he asked again to confirm they were going direct Madison, and the call was blocked, so he asked again confirm direct Madison Mike Alpha Delta, pilot responded in a somewhat angry tone "going direct MIKE ALPHA DELTA MADISON" ...so how else are you supposed to respond then "ok sir no reason to get M, A, D."
 
Maybe not the funniest, but sometimes when I know when we're going to a northern destination and weather is crap such as snow, I'll say welcome aboard our flight to Cancun.....err I mean Boston. Sometimes gets a few laughs from the back.
