[A. BOOZER]

While taxiing at London Gatwick Airport, the crew of a US Air

flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and

came nose to nose with a United 727.

An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air

crew, screaming: "US Air 2771, where the ###### are you going?!

I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned

right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for

you to tell the difference between C and D, but get it right!"

Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now

shouting hysterically: "God! Now you've screwed everything

up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right

there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect

progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour and I

want you to go exactlywhere I tell you, when I tell you, and

how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?"

"Yes ma'am," the humbled crew responded.

Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell

terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771.

Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller

in her current state of mind.

Tension in every cockpit out in Gatwick was definitely running

high.

Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his

microphone,

asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?"
