At the risk of being banned for thread drift, there was a great story doing the rounds some years ago about a USAF C-130 taxiing for take-off behind a LH 747 at Frankfurt.
The C-130 called the 747 on Frankfurt Ground and asked him to call back on 123.45. The C-130 was told in no uncertain terms that LH did not use unauthorised frequencies.
"Fine" said the C-130, "I just wanted to tell you that you still have your gear pins fitted"!
