...and there's no such thing as "aircrafts". The plural remains "aircraft"...
or "immigrations" for that matter

Hey Reebs, flying over Virginia and the controller said that you 1500 feet and not foot sounds like a statement to me rather than a question....

And Chucks 8 inches....is that all you got, lol

Any of you guys ever flown in Russia....well there you have to say "ready to land" before you are given clearence to land.

And finals 3 greens, what if you an AN225 or AN 124?

I suppose many phrases for many parts of the world, tamato, tamarto
