ARN851:  "Halifax Terminal, Nova 851 with you out of 13,000 for 10,000, requesting runway 15."
Halifax Terminal (female): "Nova 851 Halifax, the last time I gave a pilot what he wanted I was on penicillin for three weeks. Expect runway 06."

4. When the road is long and straight, you are tempted to drive the centerline.

Tempted more often than I like to admit.

Hehe, classics, now gathered in a great list, thanks :)

Reminds me of this one from Plane&Pilot magazine:
Landing Strip: What you do with your clothes after touching down in Phoenix.
Circle to Land: What a dog does before it lies down.
Missed Approach: Leaving the FBO Christmas party alone.


I wonder if there are any jokes about pilotes one can make for women since most of them are speficically referring to male pilots, for instance:
What does a pilot use for birthcontrol? His personality!
The later half of the pilot definition you wrote above might be true to women too, do you talk about flying when you're hanging out with your girlfriends?

I almost never talk about it, since nobody, among my female friends, is interested.
But....now I see why they, on the contrary, keep telling the males. I'd never understood........

You know you are a pilot when..............

1. You turn on your car radio and expect to hear the ATIS.
2. Before you start your car, you reach for your checklist.
3. When you start going downhill in your car, you check the dash for the Attitude Indicator.
4. When the road is long and straight, you are tempted to drive the centerline.
5. When your normal talking voice starts sounding like an air traffic controller.
6. When you start looking for the lean knob on your car's instrument panel.

7.  You accelerate into right turns and slow down into left ones.  :D (actually caught myself doing this after an intense week of flight training).

Flight Plan - Scheme to get away from home to go flying.

Very similar to the "Low Altitude sickness"  Something I frequently suffer from on sunny summer days.  The only treatment is spending time AGL.  ;)

It was quite subtile and the meaning probably went lost in translation!
I meant: my female friends usually introduce me by adding to any sentence...."oh, she is pilot, too".
Now I see why. Even if they are not interested in flying, they use my...personality to take me out of any game!
:)  ;D

Ohoh, I was not told about it in the old time of theory, along with aeronautical medicine, but I completely agree about the existence of such a disease! that was lovely!  |:)\ |:)\

Approach: Beech 998, you're showing two thousand feet and intermittent Mode C. Say altitude.

Beech 998: Beech 998 is intermittently at two thousand feet.

Pilot coming in with his buddy who had never flown before:
Pilot: This is 1234 Delta five miles north for landing with Mike.
The tower clears him and he lands. When they shut down, the passenger, whosename is Mike, says, "Why'd you have to tell them that I was with you?"

A young couple, just married, were in their honeymoon suite on their wedding night. As they undressed for bed, the husband, who was a big burly man, tossed his pants to his bride and said, "here put these on." She put them on, and the waist was twice the size of her body. "I can't wear your pants," she said. "That's right!!" said the husband, "and don't you forget it. I'm the man who wears the pants in this family!" With that she flipped him her panties and said, "Try these on." He tried them on and found he could only get them on as far as his kneecaps. He said, "Hell, I can't get into your panties!" She said, "That's right, and that's the way it's going to be until you change your attitude......"
