Pilot in his 70's had a heart attack. A female passenger who had played Flight Simulator game took over the controls and was talked down after she flew around for 3 hours to get the fuel level down.
Q: You're at a party with two dozen other people. How do you guess who's the pilot in the group? A: You don't have to guess. They'll tell you.
Every time there's an aviation-related GIF in this blog, the pilots will show up to tell you how much they know about *that specific crash* and *how they would've done things differently.
Coulda put it on the grass, which would’ve been a lot easier on the airframe. Some people will say “but grass is too unpredictable, it could slide anywhere”…Maybe with some pilots. But that dude could’ve done the grass just fine.
I used to work for a municipal water district. Although we never had one gush quite that strongly, been there, done that. Place a repair coupling over the intact section of pipe, slide it over the hole, and tighten the bolts.
I never did a repair like that on anything larger than a six inch main. That looked like a much larger line.
#3: When you bash the living shit out of your car attempting to avoid a relatively minor bump.
#5: Traditionally a good name that didn't build printers with planned obsolescence in mind (like Epson has done since the 80s.) Not liking what they're doing these days though.
#7: Sometimes I just want to ask someone if it was worth it, trying to get the shot they want.

ReplyDelete#9 Couldn't ask for a better landing given the circumstances. Wow!

DeleteWith three hours to familiarize herself with the aircraft and a coach to talk her through things, I wonder why she didn't put the gear down.
DeleteIt's easier to slide in than try a gears-down landing.
DeleteThese comments remind me of a joke:

Every time. Guaranteed.
Sheesh. Give it a rest.
Dead stick landing. No power, might not have been able to lower gear.

Delete#5 - I did not know that Brother made pizza ovens.
ReplyDelete#5 is why I have fire extinguishers on every floor of the house. Shit happens, and I would like to be able to nip it in the bud.
ReplyDeleteThe number of people who visit and think I'm paranoid....
All printers are evil.

Decent dismount on #4, almost stuck the landing.

#4 got a 9.2 from the Soviet judge…(RickeyG)

ReplyDeleteDat's a sheep, not goat
ReplyDeleteDid the guy in #4 make it 8 seconds?
