Aviation Humor

One from a German jet jockey

Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas is where the future military jet pilots get trained. Not just Americans, also many European nations send their pilots there.
Of course, there are sometimes “language problems”. One day a German pilot did an outbound flight to another airbase. After touchdown tower made the following radio call to him: “Lefty 42, please call the marshaller insight”. The pilot had tower repeat the transmission several times. Not knowing or not understanding what tower meant by “marshaller insight”, he replied: “Sir, I will call him via landline”.
