    Best one ever, A German pilot flying a Lufthansa flight from JFK into Berlin, contacted the tower in German
    Tower: You are an international flight, please communicate in English
    Pilot: I am a German pilot flying for a German Airline flying into a German City, why to I have to speak English.
    After a long silence, another voice with a very British accent replied "Because you lost the war, mate."

      The version I always got was that the British pilot is flying into Berlin and asks for directions to the gate. The annoyed controller barks at him saying, "what's the matter with you, can't you tell I'm busy? Haven't you ever flown to Berlin before?" To which the pilot replies, "yes, several times in fact. Problem was that back then we weren't landing."

      In Russia, we have similar story, but on submarine.
      The general comes with a check on the submarine, speaking with the captain in the control room. The compartments are full of life, and suddenly someone says over the intercom: "Come on, be quiet, there's some important d... on board." The general is furious, yelling into the intercom: "Who said "d..."?!" And it started: "In the first compartment, the word "d..." was not pronounced," "In the second compartment, the word "d..." was not pronounced," and so on. As a result, nothing was found out, the crew was not punished.

    This is a long'ish story but true:
    .
    Huge storm over Johannesburg, South Africa. A bunch of flights that had come in from various parts in Europe were asked to circle around until the storm blows over. These pilots were tired (they'd been flying for some 10 or so hours and now had to circle around and wait).
    .
    Various pilots called in at various intervals asking about the weather conditions and whether they could be cleared to land. They would repeatedly get a 'negative' response. After hearing a negative response, some pilot must have accidentally put his hand on the mic button and every one heard a transmission of a pilot saying, "F%$K!!!".
    .
    That is serious. You can be grounded for swearing at that level.
    .
    Jo'burg control tower calls out, "Will the pilot who swore please identify himself."..... radio silence...... again, "Will the Pilot who swore identify himself".....
    .
    Suddenly some Englishman came over the radio, "This is BA147, that's a negative on the F#@k from us." Immediately all the other airlines cranked in, "This is Lufthansa442, That's a negative on the F$#K from us", "This is KLM... that's a negative on the..."
    .
    Control tower got the picture and announce, "Okay guys, we've all been having a long night, let's calm down and focus on getting everyone home safely tonight."

I usually have the plane entirely to myself, or occasionally there will be one or two other people onboard.

    Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P for pilot) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. P: Left inside main tyre almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tyre. P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft. P: Something loose in cockpit. S: Something tightened in cockpit. P: Dead bugs on windshield. S: Live bugs on back-order. P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute Descent. S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground. P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. S: Evidence removed. P: DME volume unbelievably loud. S: DME volume set to more believable level. P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. S: That's what friction locks are for. P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode. S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode. P: Number 3 engine missing. S: Engine found on right wing after brief search. P: Aircraft handles funny S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious. P: Mouse in cockpit. S: Cat installed. P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. S: Took hammer away from midget!

    As a retired controller who worked the NYC for 8 years, we learned how important it was during heavy traffic periods to use positive ATC control instructions to minimize misunderstanding and potentially conflicts…it was a lesson we took seriously however during slow periods a little humor and deviation from standard phraseology was good for both pilots and us.

And Chuck kept calling the pilot "son",-------- ,"you're doing fine son, drop altitude a little son, turn left son."
    I think only Chuck could get away with that.😊
