St. Louis approach: "United 123 best forward speed to the marker,
you're number one."

United 123 (male voice): "Roger, balls to the wall."

St. Louis approach: "American 4321, you're number two behind a
United 737, follow him, cleared visual, best forward speed."

wide open."

-Radio silence-

This has probably been posted before but it is pretty funny.

An F-16 pilot on his way across the U.S. from Florida was experiencing engine problems and decided it would be best to land a the closest airport. He contacted Barksdale Air Force Base's tower in his best "Fighter Jock" voice saying "Barksdale Tower, Air Force 1234, 30 miles out, landing Barksdale, request expidited approach due to engine problems." Barksdale tower replied with "Air Force 1234, you are number two to land behind a B-52 who's coming in with an engine out. The F-16 pilot responded with the following reply. "Ah, the dreaded 7 engine approach."
