Mayday call.


An air traffic control tower suddenly lost communication with a small twin engine aircraft!

> A moment later the tower land line rang and was answered ...by one of the employees!
> The passenger riding with the pilot who lost communications was on a cellular phone!
>
> He yelled,
> "Mayday, mayday! The pilot had an instant and fatal heart attack!
> I grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket and he had told me
> before we took off he had the tower on his speed dial memory!
> I am flying upside down at 18,000 feet and traveling at 180 mph! Mayday, mayday!"
>
> The employee in the tower immediately put him on speaker phone!
>
> "Calm down, we acknowledge you and we'll guide you down after a few questions!
> The first thing is not to panic! Remain calm!"
>
> He began his series of questions:
>
> Tower : "How do you know you are traveling at 18,000 feet?"
>
> Aircraft : "I can see that it reads 18,000 feet on the altimeter dial in front of me!"
>
> Tower : "Okay, thats good, remain calm! How do you know you're traveling at 180 mph?"
>
> Aircraft : "I can see that it reads 180 mph on the airspeed dial in front of me!"
> Tower : "Okay, this is great so far, but its heavily overcast!
> So how do you know youre flying upside down?"
>
> Aircraft : The sh1t in my pants is running out of my shirt collar!!"
