Trick I like to play when I am flown by a new pilot or co pilot is after introduced my I ask "Can you show me the secret navigation for the flat earth or does that one just take into account the earth is flat?" The look on their face even when I wasnt their boss not knowing what to say LOL If one had already been pranked by me they would enjoy it more than me usually! :) but usually could hold in their lauffter

He's only telling stories about "a guy he knows"

I’m a retired airline pilot. One morning I was on a flight to Las Vegas. There was a flight attendant trainee on board. On short final the lead asked the trainee if she emptied the coffee pot to which she replied she forgot! Just then tower issued us a go around. The trainee thought we went around because she didn’t empty the coffee pot and was afraid she would get in trouble!

On the subject of timing, I’ve opened a door to a government office in KS, as the tornado warning siren sounded. I was a new resident.

Laughed my butt off! I was on a regional flight and an attendant came and checked my window temp with his hand. I was USAF at the time and knew what was going on. I calmly advised him that he needed to advise the pilot that the propeller warning paint had come off every blade and they needed to be redone with sticky yellow as the paint was now only on the blade tip. I explained that it MUST be due to centrifugal force and that it was rather common in order to save money for the airline. He advised the Capt. The SECOND the aircraft had stopped the Capt and First Officer were out out of the cockpit and waiting for people to disembark, watching who left. Both thanked me for my concern for passenger and ground crew safety with EVIL grins. Neither had heard that one before and no doubt used it many times afterwards.

Kelsey, I hope you see this one. Captains mess with ground crew, too. You need to stay with this story to the end. Shortly after starting work with the airline, I was being trained on and checked out for marshaling aircraft. This was my first time on the ramp, so my trainer was standing behind me. My airline also uses different color safety vests or wording on those vests to indicate rookies, experienced, supervisors, etc. So as this plane was taxiing in, with me in a trainee vest and an experienced vest on the guy behind me, the entire world would know I was new and inexperienced. As I start the signals to line up and bring in the aircraft, it starts doing things I am not telling it so, weaving on and off the lead in line, slowing/speeding up/stopping, etc. Of course, I'm in the "WTF am I doing wrong" mode and keep trying to get things under control so I can this plane in safely, parked and let all the passengers go about their day. What my trainer is doing behind me, I have no idea, probably laughing to he's wetting himself is my guess nowadays. I finally get the plane onto the stop bar, chocked and get the jet bridge up to the door. Then I begin my post arrival walk around. Part way around the plane, the captain comes under the wing with a huge smile on his face and sticks his hand out telling me his name and apologizing for messing with me and how he could tell it was my first time and it would be remembered for the rest of my career. We laughed a good one. I have a great sense of humor. But now let me also add, what comes around...you know the rest of that cliche'. His first officer pulled me aside and told me how the captain was enjoying himself and gave me an idea on what to do as a payback, but I assured him, I had a plan already. They had about 90 minutes between arrival and their departure. So needless to say, everyone scattered to do whatever they do in between flights and the crew went to get food. As I entered the terminal, I had a man approach me and ask me what was happening when I was bringing the plane in, he could tell I was being punked and wanted to hear the story. After telling him, I asked him when his flight was leaving and if he's help me with something. He hesitantly agreed since his flight was leaving after ours way. He enjoys planes and always gets to the airport several hours earlier than necessary to watch the ramp and runways. I filled him in on what I wanted him to do for me which was just stand in the window with his suit fully on (he had his coat off and tie loosened) and when he saw me board the plane and enter the flight deck, when he saw me point up at him, he was to sternly motion "come here, now" type gestures. He wanted to know what I was going to do, but I told him if he knew up front, he's probably not help me, but I'd fill him in after the fact. I assured him he wouldn't get in trouble. So the gate agent lets the crew out to the plane. I come along and board, making sure the guy in the window was in position as requested. He was. I enter the flight deck and start talking with the captain and first officer. I point up to the guy in the window and proceed to say: "I'm sorry to be the one who has to tell you this, but see that man in the window"...pause, both look up and the captain says, yeah, what about him. "Ah, he's an FAA inspector and someone reported that you were consuming alcohol in the bar while you were in the terminal and he's here to give you a drug test." My guy is doing exactly as I asked, and became even more insistent the longer the captain looked up at him. The F/O in the meantime, realizing my prank, turned away and was looking out his side window trying to not be noticed laughing, but the captain noticed the shoulder bounce and after processing the matter, looked at me with a nervous smile and cracking voice, "you're joking right, this is just payback for my arrival stunt, right?" I started laughing and said, never screw with a master prankster my friend. I won. At this point , relieved, he wanted to know who the guy was in the window, I told him just another passenger for the flights leaving after yours and I enlisted him to help me out when he asked about you punking me with your customized arrival. He jumps out of his seat and wants to meet this guy. We go up to the concourse and he asks the guy who he is...and he reassures the captain that he's leaving on the next flight. Captain says "So you are not with the FAA?" The guy looks shocked, says no and turns to me asking what he had gotten himself into with me. So we told him. He said to me, had I known your plan, I wouldn't have helped, but now that I did, that's funny. I again assured him he was not going to get into trouble. As I turned the plane out on departure, the captain gave me a huge smile, the sharpest military salute I've ever seen and a wave. He conceded, I won the exchange with that salute. Now this is where it gets better, for over a month, every single crew from his regional airline that flew into my city asked for me so they could meet me. Seems that this particular man had quite the reputation as a prankster punking flight attendants, pilots, mechanics and office staff equally as all were fair game. And having admitted being bested that day, he (or more likely his F/O) shared the story with everyone and the word spread like wildfire. Thus everyone wanted to meet the guy who put him in his place. I can't tell you how many pops, sandwiches, etc. that were purchased for me as a thank you for getting him paid back in a big way from all his fellow coworkers. It was certainly an experience neither he nor I will forget and he certainly did make it one event during my career that I have not forgotten and that's been quite some time ago.

"The ozone test" is similar to a prank we played in the Army on the new guys fresh from basic training and jump school. During vehicle maintenance day, we'd have all the new guys gather "exhaust samples" from every Humvee in the platoon and give them to the maintenance Sargeant. It was a lot of fun watching the maintenance Sargeant smoking all the new guys for delivering him dozens of trash bags full of stinky truck exhaust.

I already had 10 years working on F/A-18s, A-6s, etc., so the first time instructor asked me to go get the keys to the airplane during our brief, I tactfully told him that I might be a student FE, but I wasn’t a rookie to aviation. He tried to convince me and I kept pushing back. As it turns out, the P-3 has a hasp built into the main cabin door for a padlock, so there REALLY are keys to the plane (not to start the engines, though). Thousand of hours on P-3s and C-130s and I just landed a job with NASA’s SOFIA 747!

If they were smart enough to stand further back it would actually inflate the bag. We would then tell them they need to run across the flightline to NDI shop before it cools off for analysis. Watching new kids running across the flightline with a half inflated garbage bag was always a good time.

The pilots called me up in the flight deck and ask me if I'd like to watch the moon up close as they have " binoculars " up there. So I went up . This particular peep hole was waaay forward on the side of the f/o . I had to stretch my body to look upthere. My boobs were pretty much in the co pilot face , while the captain stared and " admired " my a$$. Well. I was looking at the reading light . Only after their stares , I figured out what was going on ! At the end , I laughed with them . 🤣 Hate to admit , I totally fell for it. My roommate at that time, she got the " ozone check " one.

The newbie has to put on a life vest (because ... airport regulations), fetch a megaphone if possible, stand out in front of the plane and shout "on ... off ... on" while the pilots switch the landing lights on and off!

Back in 1969 on a B 727 the parking brake had a release lever that was pulled straight up. That was perfect for a first timer prank. The captain would call her to the cockpit and tell her that the toilet flush release hydraulic pump was not working and they had to use the manual override pump. They would show her the parking brake release and tell her to come in every 15 minutes and pump this lever 20 times. We all had a great time helping her keep the time and go pump to keep the toilets flushing!

Pretty early in my airline career, I was flying with the youngest, and smallest, captain at the airline. We left Chicago with a new set of flight attendants, just before dark. It was a quick flight to Cleveland, and not long after level off, the Captain climbed into the cockpit coat closet. I called the 'A' flight attendant to the cockpit, and asked her if the Captain could come back to the cockpit, so we could land. She went back through the cabin, but couldn't find him. I asked her to check the lavs, but he wasn't there. I started our descent, and reiterated that we needed the Captain up front. She got the other flight attendants involved...everyone was looking for the Captain. When all three of them came back to the cockpit, with very worried looks on their faces, he popped out of the closet, and they realized that they had been pranked.

On the subject of the missing keys - I used to work in an electrical engineering shop. We once sent a new employee to the stores for some 6mm holes. Fortunately for the employee, the joke backfired, because we used to punch washers out of bakelite sheets, leaving a sheet of material full of 6mm holes. The stores had cottoned on to the joke and made it backfire on us.

A fiend of mine went to work in such a place and he told he had been pranked on his first day... they gave him an 8 inch piece of flat conductor, that was massive copper, 2 inch wide and 1 thick approximately. They also gave him a hacksaw and told him to cut a little bit under 2 inches off of each end so he gets a 4 inch piece. He was half way through the other cut when it dawned on him.

I was a KC-135R boom operator. We used to get all the new navigators with the radar alignment prank. We’d send them outside during the pre flight and drop the aft hatch down to them and tell them to hold the hatch low then high above their head moving in an arc in front of the nose. They were always so excited to do it until they found out there wasn’t a radar alignment. Extreme cases pictures and video were taken and shown to all crews in the desert during intel briefings.

I love how in two of these stories (that's how far I am so far anyway) when people start to get mad/upset you walk away to keep it going lol. If it was me, my nerves would kick in, I'd crack and spoil the joke before it even had time to be funny 😂. These are all fantastic pranks 👍

I started laughing as soon as I saw the sentence “I need the keys”

We do the “ozone check” in the prison with new officers. We call it an air quality check, the bag has to be taken to the captains office so he knows we did it. 😂

I used to actually do a real ozone test with a meter, that detects it. It was a byproduct of uv lamps used in printing. Supposed to be piped out. Dangerous if leaking In to the room. Maybe he need to rethink this prank, because it’s a real thing.

It would have been even better if you only printed a 20 and then hand it to her saying, "make it stretch, it's going to be a long 3 days." lol

When I was in the Marines we usually traveled on Marine Corps C9s. Occasionally we would need to take C130s. We had a prank we would do when someone was new to the unit on their first flight in the C130: The pressurization vents are on the ceiling of the plane and because of the nature of the design, it's normal to see them blow normal air as steam. It can be disconcerting if you don't know what it is. Next to the rear hatch of a C130 is a lever that be safely pumped but doesn't do anything at all when the plane is flying. So we would look up at the steam on the ceiling and appear to be very concerned. "That's not right." "There has to be something seriously wrong with the airplane." So we might talk to the crew chief, tell him quietly what we have planned so he can play along but look like we are alerting them to the dire situation we have noticed. So we go back to the newbie and explain that there's something mechanically wrong with the plane as evidenced by the smoke coming out of the vents. We also explain that the crew chief has informed us that the plane is going to go down unless we pump that lever at the rear of the plane. That duty, we explain, falls on the member with the lowest rank. It's fun to watch a newbie stand back there for a while pumping away occasionally looking up with some fear at what he thinks is steam coming out of the vents. It helps that we keep encouraging the newbie with a little concern of our own: "Keep pumping! Don't let up! We don't want to crash!"

The same prank is done on Ch-53s, the crew chief with his headset on, is talking to the pilot the whole time, but cannot be heard by the Grunts in the helo. There is a pump near the back that doesn't do anything in flight, but the -53 would start dropping suddenly and the crew chief would get up from his seat, go to that pump and start pumping...the -53 would balloon upwards and fly normally. A short while later, the-53 would sink again, the crew chief gets up, and the same routine is repeated. About the third time, however, he would mutter some profanity and wave refuse to get up. Inevitably, one of the newer Grunts would get worried, and go back and start pumping that handle like crazy.

Ozone check reminds me of "tuning the radar " on boats. You get the greenest, most gullible crew member, wrap them in aluminum foil, then have them stand on the bow. The captain will give them specific instructions to make them look silly. Everyone has a good laugh.

All these pranks take time, time = money so they all have a cost. I know one guy who had to drink his own urine for that last prank because they ran out of apple juice.

You had me laughing out loud with the last prank! Absolutely hilarious.

An FA came forward to ask my F/O how fast we were going on behalf of a passenger. He told her we were going "the speed of heat" and had her hold her hand to the inside of the windscreen which was heated. The passenger was not impressed with the answer. The Shorts 360 had separate doors for the F/0 and Capt. One captain, expecting the FA would peek in through the F/0s door in cruise, decided crouch down to the left of the seat and he had the F/0 say: "If he's not in the restroom, they must've taken off without him." She panicked

Hay Kelsey your so lucky to have them tidy flight attendants around all day . Love your Chanel ❤️

this made me actually laugh out loud ( center and terminal controller 39 years) Love your common sense approach. my feeling was you advised pilot saw the green light so all was good.

Imagine the FA understanding it and mixing up the glasses on the last one, and suddenly when you drink you hear: "Joke's on you"

Love your work. I worked as a "Customer Service Agent" (a/k/a Ramp Rat) for Continental at Ohare from 1972 until 1980 - the dawn of the Jumbo Jet - while going through college and then law school. I loved the job - even working though night shifts in the Chicago winter. Worked mostly international flights as Continental provided contracted ground support for Lufthansa, Air Lingus, Loft Leiter, Mexicana, Air Jamaica and others. It was the wild west back then. We didn't even have ID badges at first. At one time I had a key that would open every door in the then International terminal - this was well before the current international terminal. We also used to prank newbies - such as telling a newbie to go ask the supervisor for the "bin stretcher" while hand loading cargo into older - non-containerized - aircraft such as a DC 8. I still connect about every couple months with some of my former ramp rats. Although, they've all seem to have gotten older than I remember.

"ozone check" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. When I started landscaping and we were building a rail road tie retaining wall, and the foreman told me to go get the "wood stretcher" about 2 hours later and me asking everybody on the build site for a "wood stretcher" mr foreman let me in on the gag, as did the entire work site..🤦‍♂️ they busted my chops on that for the rest of the summer, all good because there was always a green horn to mess with, it was very important to keep good morale on a work site as your life literally counted on it, and you had to work with other trades and work with each other not just everybody doing there own things, that's how fingers, legs and heads get lost...

Kelsey is a true professional. He would never do anything unprofessional, including pranks. 😆

This story made me flash back to a flight I took as a kid when the flight attendant was quick walking up the aisle with a trash bag open over her head asking everyone to hurry and clear the aisle. I had forgotten all about that until this video. Now I wonder if the pilot was messing with her or if she was just an odd woman 🤣

I swear, it was maybe 20 yrs ago. I was on a flight and a beautiful young attendant reached across and felt the window saying excuse me. She continued up the isle putting her hand on each window. 🤣 Wow!

Man... I was laughing the whole time. The ATM and pee pranks are savage. Love it.

“I’ve never done any of these to a flight attendant” Very specific. I bet you’ve done them to a fellow pilot

74Gear: I haven't done any of these things. These are all just stories I've heard from others. Also 74Gear: So we're laughing our arses off after making the rookie flight attendant think for the last 10 minutes she's about to get fired on her first day.

Oh my gosh, each prank got funnier and funnier until the last one....it was hysterical and I laughed till I cried!!

Love this vlog, so funny/ educational. Any funny gags that maintenance and pilots engage in? A friend working for a major U.S. Carrier would walk through the cabin with a giant 40 pound pipe wrench that stood 3 feet tall. When an attendant would ask the problem, he'd always reply "coffee makers is On the fritz", that and the number 7 fetzer valve was stuck. Fletch reference, so funny.

I remember once when I was a baby nurse, one of the older nurses told another baby nurse that we had to "pressurize the negative pressure room" (this was pre-covid!) and made her go try to open the unopenable windows. She ended up calling us in to help open the windows all like "there's no way to open the window!" and the older nurse asked her if she could find the "check valve switch" on the frame that would open the window. After another few minutes, she finally told her the windows don't open and showed her how to actually set the negative pressure on the alarm outside the room xD

As a nurse I approve the 'drinking your pee' prank. We have done this to doctors! Put apple juice in a urine specimen container and we also use dark green smoothie type drinks and put them in suction canisters and pretend it nasogastric content. We then nonchalantly drink them at the nurses station in front of a doctor 😂 ... there are more details to make it believable but you get the idea!

I have heard about the "keys" joke. My dad was in the Marines and worked in avionics. Always fun to see the new guy trying to find the keys to a jet that was due for maintenance 😉

Thats an old trick in all aspects of commecial/military worlds. Nothing has keys, except radios. That one really screws people up. Because the boots get pranked into "keys for the humvee" which nope, you can steal that all day. But radios do have keys, and I had a guy who just didn't believe me we needed keys(fills) for the radio before going to the field. When in fact we did. But he had been pranked twice already and just wasn't buying it...

The first prank (engine keys) reminds of when I was in the Boy Scouts. We were on a camping trip. The scout leader didn't much like me or my friend Richard, so he sent us out looking for left-handed tent pegs. Well ... there's no such thing. But we went looking anyway. The joke was on the scout leader ... because the rest of the scouts (including his own son) were doing the hard work of setting up tents and digging fire pits and so on ... while Richard and I were just casually strolling through the campground searching for those elusive left-handed tent pegs.
