That would be a interesting landing

@hiimbrady I agree. It was no big deal and I got a chuckle as well.

I had the controllers try to pull this on me a couple times.
I'd rather tell them that I have the wrong weather than be caught lying to them.

To everyone that doesn't get it: Long story short the tower controller caught him lying about getting the weather. Each airport has recorded weather information that repeats over a frequency called ATIS. Every time the weather is updated on this frequency the letter changes, alpha... bravo etc... The pilots are responsible for getting this information.

I'm terrified this will happen to me one day.
"Advise you have information Romeo"
*looks at paper that says Quebec"
"Ya, I got Romeo"

@Bot2Talk2 Hourly weather reports are given each hour with a letter designated for each recording. The pilot is suppose to report to the controller what the recording was and the controller said "It was Delta." The pilot said, "We have Delta." when it was really Charlie all along. They do that sometimes to see if the pilots are actually listening to the latest recording.

LOL.... Have to admit, Ive done that too.

@abstractbybrian It's not a joke, but on a nice day it's certainly not the end of the world, and the controller seemed to feel the same way. And I don't think that some dude on youtube should be calling this professional pilot clueless.

Mine as well clear your sense of humor for take off, because once you're avaition your smiles go right out the window.
@Dash8100300 if you love aviation you really dont care. For once you have tasted flight you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
