An air traffic control tower suddenly lost communication with a small twin-engine plane. Moments later, the tower phone rang - it was a panicked passenger on board! “Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! The pilot just had a heart attack! I’m flying upside down at 18,000 feet and going 180 mph!”The controller replied calmly: “Alright, sir, we’ve got you. Stay calm and answer a few questions.”Tower: “How do you know you’re at 18,000 feet?” Aircraft: “The altimeter says 18,000 right in front of me.”Tower: “Good. How do you know you’re going 180 mph?” Aircraft: “The airspeed dial says 180.”Tower: “Perfect so far. Now… how do you know you’re upside down?” Aircraft: “Because… the puddle from my pants is running out of my shirt collar.”Â
