My favorite story about a lost air crew comes from a reportedly true story in Germany and is as follows:
the german air controllers at frankfurt airport are renowned as a surly lot and expect pilots to get there without any assistance from them. so it was with some amusement that we (a pan am 747) listened to the following exchange between frankfurt ground control and a british airways 747, call sign speedbird 206. speedbird 206: "frankfurt, speedbird 206 clear of active runway." ground: "speedbird 206. taxi to gate alpha one-seven." the ba 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop. ground: "speedbird, do you not know where you are going?" speedbird 206: "stand by, ground, i'm looking up our gate location now." ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "speedbird 206, have you not been to frankfurt before?" speedbird 206 (coolly! ): "yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- and i didn't land."

There has to be an infraction for *&^%*&^ like that. Barf.
Jokes on the kid. We're opening a can and eating it for dinner. If it's green chiles, that's what we're eating and no complaining allowed.
