Aviation is a serious activity, and as all serious activities it also contains a serious part of fun ! From true stories, like this pilot who wanted to say he made a kiss-landing, but talk to his passengers about a “french-kiss-landing”.

The communications between air traffic controllers and pilots are also sometimes… surprising, like when a controller told to a pilot who was not responding as quickly as expected: “You’re like my wife, you never listen to me !” Maintenance staff can be funny as well. A pilot once reported in a plane log-book “Dead insects found on top of the dashboard”, the engineer on duty checked it and noted “Alive bugs ordered” in the “Answer” column of the book.

Even if a student pilot being lost is not really a funny situation, some can find a funny way out, like this student calling on the emergency frequency and saying “Unidentified airport with a Cessna 152 orbiting overhead, identify yourself.”

May be I will once open an “Aviation fun” section in this blog, but for the time being you can find more in PilotFriend’s humour section. Their collection is quite impressive. Enjoy !
