Some years ago I had the opportunity to fly from the UK to France with a local UK pilot in his Cherokee. We flew across the Channel to a very popular small airport. Approaching land, my friend called in our position and intent to land. A few minutes later a call came in from another pilot, also reporting position and intent to land, but in French.
My friend growled, "Every time I come here, someone is speaking French! I don't know where he is!"
Innocently I asked, "Well, if you come here all the times, haven't you picked up a few words, like 'six ouest'?" which is what the pilot reported.
"ENGLISH IS THE LANGUAGE OF AVIATION!" was the reply.
We landed without incident and walked to a restaurant. "You'd better order," said the Englishman to the American. "They hate us here."
