Safety flight announcement during my trip in South Africa

Its nice to know that some folks still have a sense of humor.

Years ago during the Vietnam War, there was an item in the Humor in Uniform feature in Readers Digest that comes to mind from your post.

As the story went a group of GI's were flying into Vietnam and most of them were green recruits on their first tour. As you might expect things were a bit tense on board as they began their descent.

About this time the pilot came on the PA and made what started out as the usual announcement something like the following.

This is the Pilot, we will be landing in about 10 minutes, please fasten your seat belts and return your seats to the upright position. The temperature in Saigon is 85 deg. Humidity is 100%, with light to moderate ground fire.

I hope you enjoy your stay!

Needless to say it lightened up the mood a bit.
