This allegedly was posted very briefly on the McDonnell-Douglas Website by an employee there who obviously has a sense of humor. The company, of course, does not have a sense of humor and made the web department take it down immediately …..!
Commandant de bord Henri Le Coq on the new Airbus A380
In case you have not had a chance to fly on the new Airbus A380, “Commandant de bord Henri Le Coq” will give you a sneak peek about the new “innovations” that are available on the French built Airbus A380. If only a Cirrus or a Cessna were big enough to accommodate these!

I am a British Airways Captain
Would you happen to be a British Airways Captain or are you a private pilot who has any desire to be one? This video will show you what it takes to be one – right down to what watch to buy and what type of accent you need! In addition, several other “pilots” share their personal stories about being pilots…

The runway is short
Back before WWII started, the country of Bobedonia had acquired brand new B-17’s. The Chief Military pilot was flying the first B-17 in before the others. On the approach, the Captain said to his co-pilot:
"Runway is short, give me 10 degrees flaps."
The co-pilot reaches down and extends the flaps.
Further into the approach the captain says: "Runway is very short, give me 20 degrees flaps."
Again, the co-pilot drops the flaps down to 20 degrees.
About 2 miles from the threshold, the Captain says in a very urgent voice:
"Runway is very, very short, give me full flaps now,"
The co-pilot does what he his told. A few seconds later they touch down. Props are reversed and brakes are locked. When all the dust finally cleared, the airplane’s main gear was only a few inches away from the edge of the concrete. The flightcrew sigh in relief. The Captain turns toward the co-pilot and says:
"Runway is very, very, very short!" where the co-pilot responds:
"Yes, runway is very short, but is very, very wide."
I want to learn how to fly… An airplane…
Do you remember when you went to the airport to enquire about flying lessons for the first time? Lets us hope that your first visit went differently than this classic Monthy Python skit!

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some trouble about this…
For those pilots who are also Monty Python fans, here is some classic Monty Python airline pilot humour that will, well, humour you!
