From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm f...ing bored!"
Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!"
Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f...ing bored, not f...ing stupid!"

I love it when ATC calls take on the characteristics of a Discord voice chat 😂

"there's absolutely no reason to rush" ... "Oh Dear"...

"I want you in Atlanta"
"Okay.. how's Boston?"
"That'll do too"
It's all about compromising. 😆

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."

Tower: Scandinavian flight be aware, you hav a Fokker 50 ahead of you. SK: I hav been waiting my whole career to say this, i hav the little Fokker in sight. :-)

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 radio again, "Will the Pilot who swore identify
.
.
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."

The bird's wife is no joke. Those big birds have longer marriage than the average American marriage.

dispatch, "are you ready to copy a speed restriction?"
conductor, " yes, but this is my first time so please, be gentle."
dispatch, "standby!" as he laughs off.

Heard over military comms, someone dropped an F bomb, immediately someone called out "Who said F***?" for the next 30 minutes, contact after contact yells "I didn't say F***!" until we got bored with it.

1:48: *”WHAT?!”* that made me laugh way more than it should’ve! 😂
4:20: *”my f-cking favorite!”* *”that guy know he’s talking on a radio?”* I’m dead! 😂

As an ex-air traffic controller in the Air Force, crap talk like this was never allowed not even with our FAA ATC counter parts that I recall. Damn, things have changed.

[pilot]

I miss Steve! He was an awesome controller

[jacefairis]

the "where do you want me?" "I want you in [Different City]!" bit always cracks me up

[michaelw]

“I want you in Atlanta!” …and that’s where I lost it. lol
