The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as ashort-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parkinglocation, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was withsome amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the follo wing exchangebetween Frankfurt ground control and a BritishAirways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.

Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206! clear of active runway."

Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi togate Alpha One-Seven."

The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop. Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where youare going?"

Speedbird 206: "Stand by,Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurtbefore?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I did n't land."

While taxiing at London's GatwickAirport, the crew of a US Air flightdeparting for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrongturn and came nose to nose with a United 727. An irate female ground controllerlashed out at the US Air cr ew, screaming: "US Air 2771, where the hell are you going? I told youto turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop rightthere. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and D,but get it right!"

Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: "God! Now you've screwedeverything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there anddon't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions inabout half an hour, and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tellyou, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?"

"Yes, ma'am," the humbled crew responded.

Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silentafter the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging theirate ground controller in her current state of mind Tension in every cockpitout around Gatwick was definitely running high. Just then an unknown pilotbroke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking:

"Wasn't I married to youonce?"
