>On Sunday evening, Dutch air traffic control was asked by pilots of a Boeing 787 of the Mexican airline AeroMexico whether they could perform a low flyby over Amsterdam. The pilots wanted to admire the capital from the air.
>"You would wake up the whole of Amsterdam," said an astonished air traffic controller, as can be heard in an audio clip of the conversation between the pilots and the control tower.
>"Is there a chance that we will be allowed to fly at 4,000 feet (1,200 meters, ed.) Over Amsterdam?" Air traffic control responded in disbelief and said this was not possible.
>The pilots were surprised and said they came up with the idea "because of the new year". However, air traffic control made it clear to the Mexicans that the approximately 60 meter long plane would "wake up all of Amsterdam". However, the air traffic controller advised them "to visit Amsterdam when everything is open again".
>The flight in question was AMX26 from Schiphol to Mexico City, which arrived at its destination on Monday at 10:32 AM (Dutch time). The pilots could not only not fly low over the capital, but also had to take off from the Kaagbaan, so that they even took off in the opposite direction.
Does /n/ know of any other funny conversations between ATC and pilots?
