- Some of the Best and funniest Pilot and Tower Air Traffic control conversations from around the world including some Hot mics where the pilots gave a passenger briefing over the radio to all pilots by mistake. Some annoyed pilots and some really chilled out pilots makes for an interesting ATC exchange.
Some of the clips are of Southwest pilots, Delta Airlines and Jetblue. I also included general Los Angeles LAX footage of Asiana A380 taking off back in March. Funnily enough I just edited this video while in Seoul awaiting to start live streaming.
I love how the pilots have this unspoken agreement to automatically roast/tease the pilot who broadcasts into the wrong frequency 😂
Chad is epeening about his carrier landings but cannot use the correct button for his announcement. Of course you get roasted.
It's always been my experience while up in the air. You always want to check that transmit screen or you can really embarrass yourself. XD
One time, Kennedy Steve actually teased a pilot for that. After several other pilots waited, and one commented, "You're just gonna let him get away with that?"
Listen to guard freq, meow!
yes 😂
That weed one was golden and so wholesome haha, two Bros clearly going to get blazed on their downtime haha
Nah, they won't. Because if anything goes wrong, they get drug tested. They pop hot, they're doing jail time.
@@oxide9679 shhhhh let me have my headcanon XD
There's a longer recording where another flight jokingly asks if they can alter their flight plan to go to WEED as well.
Too bad the flight was 415; soooooo close to 420

Delta Captain: "I obviously know what I'm doing"
Other pilots, listening to his passenger brief: 👁👄👁
It happens to the best xD
So funny when it happens to an egomaniac though
As a retired airline pilot I have to say that the Delta pilot is a total tw@t.
@@Snoozzzzzze as ex-USN, I agree.
As a person that hates to fly sounds reassuring to me.
Not reassuring when you fly into an airport and the plane seems to be a bit tippy, in no wind. On the ground ...pilot comes on thanking the trainee (or some sort of vernacular) for the landing. It was like WHO is driving this thing for the arrival 🤣🤣
"your in good hands" as soon as I learn how to operate the radio and quit bragging on myself!
You’re*
Bragging about* myself
Ok grammar Nazis not everyone has english as their first language. Deeerrrr
@@angel-nv7jk Especially Muricans
@@deadon4847 Zing! 😂
Oh man that navy pilot, my eyes can’t roll any harder.
I mean... that IS a lot of carrier landings.
As anxious as I am, I feel the slight bit comfort when the pilot says ‘you’re in good hands’ even when they’re boasting.
Yea but it's hard to take him seriously when he's speaking over the control frequency and not the PA.
@@CaptainXanax 😆
I think I got the same pilot, he did the same announcement on my flight (to the passengers this time) it was a verry bumpy flight there was really really bad weather, but at the time I tought that was impressive and it gave me confidence, I am a bit afraid of flying.
2:52 That's a good pilot. Actually listening to what the controller said, heard an inconsistency and questioned it.
What exactly was it I don’t quite understand atc talk
@@ramzan.k9266 ok so pretty sure Kennedy ground would be those dudes with the red sticks so he got confused because he’s supposed to be talking to tower those guys in the tower not 100% sure it’s my best guess
@@duckywucky4812 Kennedy Ground would be another controller that coordinates the taxiing planes so they don't run into each other. Tower is in charge of the runways. Kennedy Ground wouldn't be giving them clearance to land, lol.
yes

"I need the controllers number and initials for my report" LOL
Some say he wanted to take her out to lunch maybe dinner
Controllers initials are F. Y.
@@sludge4125 oh, she must've gotten married. Her initials used to be F.O.
@@77thTrombone 🤪🤪🤪
At Akron Canton airport they kept having problems with deer on the runways. They were glad when coyotes came and chased the deer out, but then the coyotes started chasing the planes
Well I live about 90 minutes from Akron and in this area of Ohio deer are very populous they are everywhere and I’m not surprised that they went on runways of airports
The planes looked liked road runners and did (beep beep) 😁
Then there was the pilot had a black cat cross his taxiway.....
were the coyotes cleared for take off?
Ay! Hometown KCAK
Just when I thought that Navy pilot couldn't get any more nauseating, he referred to the on board flight attendants as "The Delta Girls".
yea
Are they not girls who are working for Delta?
@@stephentorrey8727 I'll just give you the argument you are seeking I guess. I haven't seen too many adolescents acting as flight attendants so I am guessing they are "women" working. And they could probably do their job without being referred to by some childlike nickname applied to them by a big manly man Navy pilot.
@@justinmiller7658 huh, do you always take up battles for those you view as inferior? Seems like you're projecting your own deep rooted views onto the "big manly man".
Agree..
I was actually at KMHT when AF2 had a bird strike. Was taking photos and recording, went back through my footage and saw sparks out of the engine. 1 hour of spotting turned into 4+ of waiting and new interviews lol. Pilots made such a smooth landing.
Just watched your video and liked it!
I love the ones when they give the passenger briefing on the frequency. 🤣
Taking off from Puerto Rico we once had a 20 minutes delay because a family of iguanas was crossing the runway
I feel so embarrassed for the Delta Navy guy...what a pompous pax brief.
And 123 carrier landings in 27 years, there is a small problem somewhere.
I had the very same thought. I figure he made at least 115 of those landings as a back-seater on a C-2.
That many carrier landings guaranteed that the landing is going to be hard hitting!
@@77thTrombone damn you really do not like that guy 😭
It would make me feel better as a passenger knowing that. I thought it was impressive.
@@JaneSmith0709 As a long haul captain, I wouldn't mind showing you some impressive tricks....purely technical, of course.
The delta captain is that one guy who forgets to mute in a zoom meeting
That pilot and controller agreeing about it being a long night. Heh.
HAHAHAHAHA for a second I thought the 'jetpack sighting' one was the same recording as from the 'may have taken a bird in one of our engines' one
If you've been on a plane, this could be your captain speaking in this video :D
and that's exactly why i don't fly. 🤣
@@jong.7836 Flying is safer than driving.
@@HelloRasupuBegasu no one ever fell 30,000 ft. out of a car.
@@peacethongjua7242 neither do i, in general. too expensive. but if i did and had time to spare, i might opt for a ship.
maybe.
You’re more likely to end up in a car crash than a plane crash
Pack Coast should’ve had the flight number as 420
Want to know if someone was a fighter pilot? Don't worry they'll tell you.
Good to see that wildlife is still respected!
...it isn't...
This was the best memory of COVID, listenjng to us guys in big planes trying to remember how to self report and coordinate, gokd times
Direct to Weed? That's easy. Just head North on I-5 from Sac and you can't miss it.
that former navy pilot,thats what i would like to hear on every flight. dude spent decades flying on and off of carriers. you deffo know you're as safe as possible with him at the controls!
Exactly what I was thinking
Pilot telling the tower I want a number to call is a bit different.
“woooowww that’s a lot of carrier landings” 🤣🤣
Yes ha ha
That Navy Delta pilot made my day haha
I would have been afraid he had to find a carrier to land us on!
I love almost anything aviation or airport ops related. Great content. Thanks
All of this is pretty common. Buffalo Tower and I were laughing with one another last night when I requested progressive taxi. Hot Mics/Humorous commentary when small errors are made keep you human rather than a robot reading a checklist.
Hilarious that the navy pilot gave the big head spiel on the radio.
5:12 I think the pilot was trying to say “too far” due to the distance being too far so he may not identify it correctly
That coyote was chasing road runner.
Oof the Aussie pilot at 0:44 was NOT happy XD
The youtube recommendations are pushing this video, so a lot of people who aren't familiar with aviation lingo are being directed to this video (including me). Even though I didn't understand half of it, it was still very entertaining.
Thanks for watching glad you liked it 😀
You were directed to this video, we were directed to WEED. :D
Why was I assigned 16R when there is no traffic on 16L! Sir , you are assigned 16R. 😂 Don't ask, just do. There's a bigger picture
CJ back at it with his Jet Pack.
Sounds like someone saw Ironman flying by.
In Chicago there was a Lufthansa flight that was taxiing to the runway when they called ground and said they had to return to the gate. When ground asked why the pilot said they were missing a passenger. Then an unknown pilot on frequency said "check your ovens." They never found out who said it but they tried.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.
Lol, worked with the Kiwi who did the JJP call. He is a dick. BUT! That hot mic with old mate patting himself on the back as being a carrier pilot or something is the most cringe worthy shit I've heard.
Wonder how much his wife loves it when he talks about himself in the third person -_-
Dude definitely full of himself
He did 123 landings
Sounded more Australian to me.
@@OkinInc nope CHCH bloke from memory. When I say he was a dick he was work wise and quite unpopular with a lot but I did a few trips where we had some fun, with a beer he was nice enough outside of a work trip.
I get the chills just listening to these ….😳
I thought I was missing something when the former navy pilot talked about his 123 carrier landings like it was a lot. I mean if you're stationed on an aircraft carrier wouldn't you be doing flights nearly daily, which hopefully includes an equal amount of takeoffs and landings, and rack up the numbers pretty fast?
Oh well, I see he got some heat in the comments so I guess all is well.
I figure he had plenty of non-carrier landings, but prefers to flex the carrier landings as a harder target. Plus it depends when and where the carrier is. If you're stationed anywhere near the middle east lately you'll be in the air non-stop. If you're up near canada you're not flying unless you've got a reason to.
It's all this comment section is doing.
I was scheduled to depart that night from LAS. My inbound flight had to divert to Phoenix. I did end up getting to leave that night but with a delay of almost 4.5 hours
The guy complaining about no traffic on 16L... some airports (MXP, for example) use the L for landings and the R for take offs, and then they invert the order every day.
"What is a carrier landing?" had me dead.
Cargolux enjoying a nice quiet flight then at 1:14 "Who the fuck is this dick???" 1:31 "Do not say we are going to the same airport!!!" A polite way of ending a conversation you don't want...
A few of those made me laugh. For that you earned a like.
1:17 these guys are great
How come no one noticed the end call where the ATC told a emergency landing plane to taxi on the runway and cleared 'airport tower' for landing 😂😭
no, that was "Airport 2", an airport ground vehicle. They told them to proceed onto a runway, not land.
Ground giving landing clearance? That's a new one for sure!
Direct WEED 😂
Additionally: He'll probably be quite high once he gets there...
I would've expected them to make some kind of remark to that end... lol
Okay passengers, we have a little over 2 hrs so if you would keep your seatbelt fastened I can show you some of the maneuvers we would do just before landing on the carrier.😉🤭
Requesting a Road Runner for the Coyote on 16 right.
Should have been pack coast 420 for the ultimate funny weed haha moment
2:30 oh no, Wiley E. is late for his flight!
I think Delta 1226 said climbing through 0-500 feet, that’s the call for depature.
Captain of my heart
eheh^^ Pilot/ Cargolux; sounded Australian : )
“Uhhh - this is Delta flight XXX. Can any pilot in the area tell me where the intercom button is on this thing?”
I clear people direct HEVVN all the time on their way to Florida. And I thought that was fun.
England to Netherlands/Belgium has the VORs KOK and DIK
@@JetpackAwaaay xD I couldn't keep it together... I'd crack every time telling a pilot to go direct on DIK and intercept KOK....
123 carrier landing's in 27 years? That's 4.5 landing's a year hardly impressive.
2:20 I actually had a coyote on the runway yesterday lmao
I would hate to share a cockpit with at least 20% of those pilots....
Wildlife: Requesting onto RW 26L there's a Coyote that's crossing the runway right now in front of me.
Well, give way to the Coyote god dammit! :D
This is a thing that happens in Vancouver, and given the Canadian aircraft, runway numbers and WILDLIFE callsign I wouldn't be surprised if this was at YVR.
I do not really see or hear what is so funny about these clips !
123?! 123?! I have a friend who has logged over 1000. Also... "Delta Girls"? How old is that recording??? :-)
Lmao tower is closed
"Direct to WEEED" lmao
Really Sir,
He said yeah and brother.
Why is no one asking for an explanation of the jetpack flying at 6000 feet??
Captain Full of Himself.
Do I have to speak English like this, if I want to become a pilot?
Yes you have to speak English and also have to understand them as well. It's for in case of emergency when you having issues with your aircraft and you need assistance from the ATC.
Unless you’re intent on killing a lot of people...YES.
I recommend you listen to liveatc.com and listen to somewhere in Western Europe, I'd recommend Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, anywhere like that. In the US it's extremely informal, New York is notoriously taxing for people who speak english as a second language, this is not particularly representative, by their nature, funny incidents are non-standard phraseology.
So, no. You do not need to be able to banter with controllers or anything like that, but you will need to pass various proficiency tests if it's not a native language.
Understanding the radio comes with practice, I've not used one in ages, but understanding is still easy enough, when speaking anything like readbacks is standardized and you are generally only expecting one or two possible responses, so it's never really that tricky.
Yes. Everything in aviation is in english
He is being sarcastic because their English is often incomprehensible.......
Wait pilots can talk to each other in mid air? 1:29
yeah?
Zaid yeah?
@@omarzaifulizan3064 Yeah.
Yeah Buddy.
Yeah? why not
Wil'E Coyote conquered the runway.
"let's the abuse start"
They didn't need this command😄
_Kennedy Steve has entered the chat_
wonder if that coyote was the flight I was on. Had to do a go-around at the Calgary Airport
26R would probably be Vancouver.
Delta girls lol. Epic
Thanks so much. Started the morning with a smile.
1:33 honestly so funny so many others responded
So we’re just gonna not talk about the jet pack at 6000 eh? I mean. What???
Direct WEED!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Air Traffic Control conversations turned "radio show."
These dudes are too funny I can't even believe it I think they should go for one way run. Ramp it up at the one alpha. Three six right. Or three five left anyway there's no parallel
The coyote will move.
How do these guys even understand each other? All those different accents, all that static over the mic... I think I'd need an interpreter! Probably doesn't help that I have auditory processing issues, though.
I've just listened to the video on 0.75 play speed to understand what they are saying and I can only recommend you guys to do the same :D
*When you wanted to be a clown but your parents wanted you to be a pilot =))))*
I have a question: at 0:28 what does "direct to weed" mean?
I'm not familiar with that area, but a basic explanation would be that "WEED" is some kind of waypoint.
Most likely it is some kind of radio transmitter on the ground that sends out a signal to be used for navigation by airplanes.
Another way of reading what the controller said is like me telling you to drive straight to (somewhere in your area).
Direct meaning go straight there, ie: don't stop at starbucks on your way over there.
123 carrier landings... I need already to learn
heres how this works: LA Ground: kinda bitchy not much humor
LA Center/Tower: very good humor
I don't think I want any pilot going near weed tbh!
Missed the chance with Pack coast 420... eh 415.
Not sure where they funny bit was. But glad to know some people enjoy this type of stuff.
"direct to WEED"
meanwhile in Russia: "direct to LIGMA"
yes, it's a real waypoint
It reminds me of Higgins and Magnum PI
Delta girls in the back ?? Can't that say that anymore in this era.
Does that has some meaning behind it or are you saying he was being rude?
@@blank_line we're now told we can no longer call our co-workers as 'girls'. That's all.
@@tonyb374 Especially if they have dark skin.
@@tonyb374 how is that a bad thing!? Just grow up and stop infantilizing women.
@@marteumar8429 what I was trying to say is that we can longer call our co-workers as 'girls'. There is nothing degrading in what I'm saying. Lighten up. Its a sign of respect for women in the work place.
yeahhhhhh direct weed!! pilot was a vibe u can tell he def used to (or still does i dont judge)
A phone number and a special position get it up on the run-up ramp bring her up. When it starts vibrating you coming down the runway at about 110 knots you'll know when to rotate
Shoulda been pack coast 420
Goood morning down there 🤣🤣🤣
Hello
Is it normal for class B airspace like McCarren to close tower and have all those commercial airliners transmit on CTAF? I didn’t know they did that.
Someone got corona and had to close
@@worldaviation4k oh no someone got the what is especially a slightly worse version of the flu. Well that's to dangerous let's have these airliners land themselves on ctaf

Look up the overall death rate in the US and compare it to previous years, no change.
www.libertariannews.org/2020/11/26/study-covid-has-had-no-effect-on-us-death-rate/
Emma Ulyánova
How about you back up your „it sounds like nonsense“ with some data?
Workplace fatalities amounted to just over 5000 people in 2017 in the US (www.arnolditkin.com/personal-injury-blog/2019/august/the-latest-workplace-fatality-statistics-in-2019/). Even if all these industries shut down, they would never offset Covid deaths.
About 95% of Covid fatalities had underlying health conditions (www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/cdc-94percent-of-covid-19-deaths-had-underlying-medical-conditions/ar-BB18wrA7), they have a weakened immune system that a lot of illnesses can overwhelm. Most of these fatalities would have never been examined before to determine if their death was in part due to illness. Covid deaths are still not investigated, if you had Covid recently and died, you‘d still be counted as a Covid death, no matter the actual cause.
So I suggest that you stop the personal insults and start backing up your claims, or provide evidence that refute mine.
Emma Ulyánova
Motor vehicle deaths were up by 8% in 2020 compared to 2019 as well, so no way to offset Covid deaths there either.
