AndiB – It’s WWII, not 9/11 (as many others have said) And yes, this is a *very* old one. If you want a source for ‘new’ ones try, http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/shortfinal/list.html

chris – Other than that how’d you like it? Do you pick every joke apart like that? Jokes aren’t meant to be accurate they are simply meant to be funny. It’s really a very simple concept. BTW it’s Frankfurt.

liphttam1 – The BA pilot was saying he had been there on two bombing runs during WWII. That’s why he didn’t land.

BA never did and still does not use the Boeing 747 on its short-haul routes to frankfurt. frankfurt has no alpha-gates. their gates all begin with the letter v followed by a three-digit number. this has been like this since they introduced gates. (there used to be parking on the field itself in the old days.)

also, old joke.

I don’t get it. Oh well, as long as every one else likes it.

AndiB – “I don’t think this is very funny, as I don’t think jokes about “911? are particularly funny…”

Since I posted the jokes on the Neatorama forum I don’t remember seeing any that had a thing to do with 911. Methinks you need to lighten up some. That and learn how to make valid complaints. I don’t know where you are but I have never heard a single joke about 911.

SoFar – Nice to know some people are paying attention.
Pan Am went out of business over 17 years ago.

Paul in Boca – “Plus, AndiB. is correct.” Try not reading something into it that is not there. 911 was not mentioned any where.

I heard that one before but it was at the Hiroshima airport…

OH LOL. Unfortunately this same exact punchline is used in hundreds of military jokes.

So if the Speedbird pilot was 20 years old in `44, that would make him 84 years old today. I don’t think BA would have someone that old piloting a 747. Plus, AndiB. is correct.

Old and Busted. Saw this in Readers Digest many moons ago.

I don’t think this is very funny, as I don’t think jokes about “911″ are particularly funny…
