Humour

The latest from Flight International: BEENO, DANDI, TOPPA. GINIS on route to Dublin.  For TV sitcom fans: DELBO and RODNI.

For Looney Tunes, there’s a routeing in Australia – ZZ929 from Townsvill to Mt Gordon: TL ITORT EYSAW APUSS ECATT DCT.

On the approach to Newark Airport in New Jersey: HOWYA DOOIN.  Louisiana has RYTHM, Kentucky has BRBON, Kansas City has SPICY BARBQ RIBBS, Montpelier, VT has HAMM, BURGR and FRYYS.

Apparently, there is a BUXOM and JUGGS in the US but revealing their true obsession there is also: GOALL, PPUNT, DRPPD, FTBAL, COACH, QTRBK, TAKKL, RECVR, FMBLE and TCHDN.

I noticed that a lot of waypoints in the channel are named after famous British admirals: DRAKE, HARDY, HAWKE.  Then there’s the sequence THRED and NEDUL near the Isle of Wight.

Thanks to Flight International for the rest of these funny waypoint names.

From Australia: WONSA, JOLLY, SWAGY, CAMBS, BUYIA, BYLLA, BONGS, UNDER, ACOOL, EBARR and TREES.

From Brisbane: LEAKY, BOATS, SINNK, DRAIN and PLUGG and from Sydney: SOSIJ SIZZL.

• No flight ever leaves on time unless you are running late and need the delay to make the flight.
• If you are running late for a flight, it will depart from the farthest gate within the terminal.
• If you arrive very early for a flight, it inevitably will be delayed.
• Flights never leave from Gate #1 at any terminal in the world.
• If you must work on your flight, you will experience turbulence as soon as you touch pen to paper.
• If you are assigned a middle seat, you can determine who has the seats on the aisle and the window while you are still in the boarding area. Just look for the two largest passengers.
• Only passengers seated in window seats ever have to get up to go to the lavatory.
• The crying baby on board your flight is always seated next to you.
• The best-looking woman on your flight is never seated next to you.
• The less carry-on luggage space available on an aircraft, the more carry-on luggage passengers will bring aboard.
