Flying to Frankfurt
|The following is supposedly a true story.
To be included, besides being true, the story is most likely strange, weird, surprising, or funny.The German
controllers at Frankfurt Airport were a short-tempered lot. They not only expected you to know your parking
location but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (PanAm
747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground and a British Airways 747 (radio call
Speedbird 206) after landing. Speedbird 206: "Good morning Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of the active."
Ground: "Good Morning, taxi to your gate." The British Airways 747 pulls onto the main taxiway and stops.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?
" Speedbird 206: "Stand by, ground, I'm looking
up the gate location now." Ground (impatiently): "Speedbird 206, have you never flown to Frankfurt
before?
" Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, in 1944. But I didn't stop".
