N100ZW: Tower, I'm going into the water.
Tower: Roger, change frequency to Coast Guard.

[NickHannula]

Pilot: declaring emergency
ATC: roger, descend and maintain flight level 0

[jorgeparra]

Pilot: I don’t think we can make it to the airport
Controller: Roger that! Good day and frequency change approved!

[VideoNOLA]

Pilot: "And by short final I mean very short, and very final."
Tower: "Roger that. And by roger that I mean that is totally rogered."

N100ZW: Tower, I'm going into the water.
Tower: Oh nice, it's a hot day outside, have a good swim!

[mykalhenry]

Cirrus: "I'm goin down!"

Control: "yeah I had eggs for breakfast too..."

[superseries]

Pilot. "I'm going into the water."
Tower. "Switch to channel 16 on your marine radio. Good day."

[sbv]

I love the controller's intonation.
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
ATC: Understandable, have a great day!

[bbeen]

Hats off to Cirrus for giving that pilot one last tool to save himself.

This controller had the nonchalance of a guy taking an order at a drive thru window.
ATC: "Oh your going somewhere else. Have a great day and thank you for choosing Page field"

If anyone has flown into FMY, you'd know that the controllers there are either the most chill or the meanest of the bunch. This guy was chill.

[ChannelJanis]

They did not spend time trying to fix the issue but pulled the handle while the plane was in specified conditions (altitude, speed, orientation...) and that was a great decision. Welcome back on ground!

[NochEinKamel]

If they are quick putting that plane in a load of rice they will be flying again in no time

[EstorilEm]

Lmao that controller was basically like “ha! Sucks to be you, frequency change approved!” *kicks legs up on desk sipping a martini*

[TAGsRC]

That tower sounded like he couldn’t give AF what this dude’s fate was, just because he asked for a wide base 😂

Perhaps thirty years ago, climbing through nine thousand feet, I had a throttle cable break at the fuel control unit. (Cessna TU-206) Engine went from cruise-climb power to idle. Idled all the way to my cow pasture landing at the "Lucky L" Ranch.

Off radio comments by pilot: Well, Bill, I have good news and bad news.

Passenger Bill: Considering we are crashing, I will take the good news first.

Pilot: We have a parachute. We are going to quietly float down to the earth.

Bill: Thank God!!! What's the bad news?

Pilot: The earth we are landing on is the alligator infested waters around Ft. Meyers, FL...how fast can you swim???

[WillDrumForFood]

Pilot: WE ARE GONNA BE IN THE WATER, PULLING THE CHUTE
Controller: ok sounds good, have a great day. 👍

[challenger]

TWR sounds like he is drinking a Busch Light

Gonna have to hype this up a notch for the movie version.
