Too Funny To Be True?
Filed in archive Fun Stuff on November 29, 2006
Jeff Harrell of The Shape of Days blog offers up two humorous stories that he doubts are true, but are fun nonetheless. Both allegedly occurred near LAX in the 1990s.
The first one goes like this: Back in the mid-1990s, a couple of amateur pilots were tooling around southern California in their private planes. Looking for a little bragging material, one of the pilots called the tower at LAX. "Center, can you give me a ground speed?" After a short pause, the controller at LAX replied, "Reading you a hundred and ten knots on the ground."
I won't spoil the story, you'll have to visit Jeff's blog post "Funny although probably apocryphal stories." Leave a comment if you can back up or shoot down the stories. Thanks for the laughs, Jeff.

Hehe. Funny story, I guess. Anyway the feeling the flight gives you is incredible. I even jumped off the plane because I was doing sky diving. It's a great feeling, I tell you.
