Subj: MAYDAY
Air traffic control tower 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 communication, was on a cellular phone and yelling “Mayday!Mayday! Mayday!”"
“The pilot just had an instant and fatal heart attack. I grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket because 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 travelling at 180 mph.....Mayday, Mayday!!”

The tower, immediately, put him on
speaker phone and the Controller spoke,
"Calm down, we acknowledge you
and we’ll guide you down after a few questions.
The first thing is not to panic,
remain calm"!
The Controller asked,
"How do you know you are
travelling at 18,000 feet"?
Aircraft:
"I can see that it reads
18,000 feet on the Altimeter dial in front of me".
Controller, "Okay, that’s good, remain calm. How do you know you’re
travelling at 180 mph"?
Aircraft:
"I can see that it reads 180
mph on the Airspeed dial in front of me".
Controller:
"Okay, this is great so far,
but it’s heavily overcast, so how do you know you're flying upside down"?
Aircraft:
"The pee in my pants is running
out of my shirt collar".
