Friday's Flying Funny

[Kip Powick]

   An air  traffic control tower suddenly lost communications with a small  twin engine aircraft.
   A moment  later the tower landline rang and was answered by one of the  employees.
  
   The  passenger riding with the pilot, who lost communications, was on  a cellular phone and  yelled
   "Mayday,  mayday!! The pilot had an instant and fatal heart attack. I  grabbed his cell  phone
   out of  his pocket, and he had told me before we took off that he had  the tower on his speed  dial
   memory.  I am flying upside down at 16,000 feet and travelling at 180  mph. Mayday,  mayday!!"
  
   The  employee in the tower had put him on speaker phone  immediately.
   "Calm  down, we acknowledge you and we will guide you down after a few  questions.
   The  first thing is not to panic, remain  calm!!".
  
   He began  his series of  questions.
  
   Tower:  "How do you know you are travelling at 16,000  feet??"
  
   Aircraft:  "I can see that it reads 16,000 feet on the dials in front of  me".
  
   Tower:  "Okay, that is good, remain calm. How do you know you are  travelling at 180  mph??"
  
   Aircraft:  "I can see that it reads 180 mph on the dials in front of  me".
  
   Tower:  Okay, that is good. How do you know you're flying upside  down??"
  
   Aircraft:  "Because I crapped my pants  and it's sliding out of my  collar."
