One which isn?t that funny but 100% true:
A lot of pilots made entries in the log book of one specific trainer aircraft (SAAB SK50) that it was impossible to trim in horizontal level flight.
The teccie guys tried to find the reason but found nothing to be wrong and cleared it for flight.
It was immediately returned with the same remark from the pilot and the procedure was repeated again and again.
Eventually the ground crew got fed up and secretly the aircraft was repainted with different identity markings and since then the remark never occurred again.
Strange how things can get stuck in your mind and, not just in one mind but collectively!?
