"If I die in a battlezone, box me up and fly me home. Put my medals on my chest, and tell my mum I did my best. Tell my love not to cry, because I'm a pilot born to die."

My favorite (true story experience)

I was on the taxiway to runway at jean Lesage arport, Quebec.

Was windy, not too much but still you had to play with the pedals to remain on track.

Tower" Cessna 172 on taxiway, please slow down to let Air Canada Dash8 go through"
Us "Roger, slow down and let the Air Canada plane go through. Just for info, where is the Dash ? can't see it"
Tower "Cessna 172SP, hold short and please report the Air Canada Dash on taxiway on sight"
Us " hold short, Sorry, Dash still not in sight. please give us details on its position."
(blank)
Tower "Air Canada Dash, please report Cessna 172SP on sight on taxiway".
Dash "sorrry, can"t see them either, we've stopped in the meantime to make sure we don't run into them"
(blank)
(blank)
Tower "nevermind, my colleague forgot to put on its glasses. he was looking at the birds next to the fuel tank... Everyone please proceed with taxiing".

At EHAM while listening to ATC

"Where is wiskey 5"?

"I hope it's still in the bottle captain..."
