Why is: Canadian city? We hear pilots queue for it = QUEBEC ?
Apologies in advance if it is one of those blindingly obvious ones ...

Is QUEBEC definitely the answer?
I don't have an alternative but I cant see how the clue works either.

Hi Janie
I think it's because Queue (as heard = "Q"), and Q in the phonetic alphabet used by pilots) = Quebec.

Cheers. I hadn't made the Q(UEBEC) connection in the alphabet with letters for words. What's that alphabet called? You know the one with ROMEO, JULIET, INDIA etc in it??? Must have a proper name ...

trevor,
there is an old saying. it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. (only joking).
