Are you sure he wasn't a Chinese pirate?

There was no reason to believe that he might be a pirate.

Why do you think a pirate would go out of his way to give you clues that
he was a pirate?

Allegedly, a Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich
overheard the following:
Umm, which year did PanAm stop flying in Germany?

Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in
Germany. Why must I speak English?"
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because
you lost the bloody war."


Thats rubbish
All the german pilots speak english the whole time with the tower,
even on domestic flights in germany
and they all speak perfect english


Yes, just another haha silly Germans story.
It's not entirely true that all pilots speak Englsih, VFR sport pilots
can use German, but certainly all formal ATC communication is in English.
By comparision, the French use - guess what - French for ATC as well
as English. They have special rights, of course.

Nobody said Martian time. The natural assumption was local time.

Mxsmanics who know anything are even rarer.
