Friday Humor – ATC style

by Skip

I may be called a damned Yankee, but there are times that I do appreciate my American brethren to the South….y’all!

(H/T: TMEW)

Atlanta airport

You gotta love this one even if you’ve never lived in the South.  Some of you will enjoy this more than others – Southerners can be so polite!

Atlanta ATC: "Tower to Saudi Air 911 — You are cleared to land eastbound on runway 9R."

Saudi Air: "Thank you Atlanta ATC. Acknowledge cleared to land on infidel’s runway 9R – Allah be Praised.

Atlanta ATC: "Tower to Iran Air 711 –You are cleared to land westbound on runway 9R."

Iran Air: "T hank you Atlanta ATC. We are cleared to land on infidel’s runway 9R. – Allah is Great.

Pause:

Static..

Saudi Air: " ATLANTA ATC – ATLANTA ATC"

Atlanta ATC: "Go ahead Saudi Air 911?"

Saudi Air: "YOU HAVE CLEARED BOTH OUR AIRCRAFT FOR THE SAME RUNWAY GOING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. WE ARE ON A COLLISION COURSE. " INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE.

Atlanta ATC: Well bless your hearts. And praise Jesus. Y’all be careful now and tell Allah "hey" for us — bye y’all!

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.

    Cute. Completely impossible, but cute. ATC won’t clear an aircraft to land ‘Westbound on runway 9L’. They’d clear them to land on 27R (which is the opposite end of 9L).
    You might want to re-write that to have one cleared on 9L and the other on 27R (or what have you).
