Expensive 360’s

Posted on by

The controller who was working a busy pattern told the 727 on downwind to make a three-sixty (to do a complete circle, usually to provide spacing between aircraft).

The pilot of the 727 complained, “Do you know It costs us two thousand dollars to make a three-sixty in this airplane?

Without missing a beat the controller replied, “Roger, give me four thousand dollars worth!”

Airplanes Versus Women

  • Airplanes can kill you quickly; a woman takes her time.
  • Airplanes can be turned on by a flick of a switch.
  • Airplanes don’t get mad if you ‘touch and go.’
  • Airplanes don’t object to a preflight inspection.
  • Airplanes come with manuals to explain their operation.
  • Airplanes have strict weight and balance limits.
  • Airplanes can be flown any time of the month.
  • Airplanes don’t come with in-laws.
  • Airplanes don’t care about how many other airplanes you have flown before.
  • Airplanes and pilots both arrive at the same time.
  • Airplanes don’t mind if you like to look at other airplanes.
  • Airplanes don’t mind if you buy airplane magazines.
  • Airplanes expect to be tied down.
  • Airplanes don’t comment on your piloting skills.
  • Airplanes don’t whine unless something is really wrong.
  • However, when airplanes go quiet, just like women, it’s a bad thing.
