If have a nice one from Kabul, Afghanistan.
We (2 CH 53) flew back to Kabul Intl. from a training mission. Our position was a few miles north of the field. After our initial contact we listened to a conversation between the Air Force Controller and a Boeing 727 from Ariana Afghan Airlines.
TWR: Ariana XXX what is your position? We have 2 helicopters north of the field.
Ariana XXX(in broken English): Position is good to land.
A few minutes later the B 727 landed on the runway without clearance!
With all the good or bad experiences we had, we have to keep one thing in mind (my opinion).The controllers are there to serve us (the pilots) and not vice versa. (Especially when we have to pay for for their service)
