made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727.
An irate Controller radioed the US Air crew screaming, 'US
Air, where are you going? I told you to turn right on
Charlie taxi way; you turned right on Delta. Stop right
there. I know it's difficult to tell the difference
between C's and D's but get it right!'
Continuing her lashing to the embarrassed crew, the
Controller shouted, 'You've screwed everything up; it'll
take forever to sort this out. Stay right there and don't
move until I tell you to. You can expect new taxi
instructions in about a half hour and I want you to go
exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell
you. You got that, USAir?' The humbled crew responded:
'Yes, Ma'am.'
Naturally, the ground control frequency went terribly
silent and tension in every cockpit was running high until
an unknown male pilot broke the silence and asked, 'Wasn't
I married to you once?'
