First off all...Thanks to you all for the postings.. You made my day many times with the stories posted
So about time to post some stories myself...
This one I experienced myself... A "famous" older pilot here in Norway called me on departure. I have him his clearance...but his readback was completely messed up.
After correcting it...2 times...he got it finally correct... and then he said :
"uffffff....when your age passes your shoe size...(european sizes
) you will get like this too!! "
Gave me a great laugh

Next is a "old" one..from a legendary controller here in Norway. This happened at the time when the old airport for Oslo ENFB( Fornebu ) was still in operation.
One of the first airlines to fly 757 to Norway, was BA...I guess the pilot was very proud of his new aircraft...and wanted to "test" out the knowledge of the controller....so this took place on approach to ENFB :
ATC : "Speedbird xxx, reduce to Cleanspeed"
Pilot : (With a very posh, "nose up" english voice)
"Excuse me, but do you know my cleanspeed?"
ATC : (Answered very quickly)
"Negative sir, but you can ask your co-pilot!!"
I can really imagine the long face of the pilot
