Apache emergency landing

[B.U.D.G.I.E]

Rumor has it than an Apache had to make an emergency landing at Cosford air show today following a pan call

Any one know why????

[ShyTorque]

Injun failure?

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Another site has it as an APU fire.

[Whirlygig]

Maybe it hit a crow? :}

Cheers

Hope all is well!

Hope they weren't acting like cowboys.

I was at the Cosford show, the Apache was supposed to be doing a two handed display with a Lynx, they both left the airfield and the next we heared was that the Apache had landed in a nearby farm field suffering from a suspected APU fire.

The Lynx returned and carried out it's part of the display!.

The Apache snuck back in and was last seen with a man in a red overall poking around in it's innards while the local RAC and AA patrols in the public car parks watched in anticipation.

So thats a Redskin Man working on a smoking peace of pipe. What SQUAWk was transmitted?

[Whirlygig]

The Apache snuck back in

That was one of their skills!

Here is a link to a short video of the poor thing with the man in red.

Red man in an overall? It might have been a lady in disguise (shy Anne).

[Whirlygig]

Any relation ShyT?

At least it wasn't the Maine rotor.

Why oh why didn't they cover it with a Teepee?

I can see the operator circling the wagons already.....

[SASless]

This is one situation where the Indian's don't want the Caavarly to show up just in the nick of time.

[Lord Mount]

I've always had my reservations about that aircraft.

I'm sure the crew were very brave, and their chief concern was safety.
The APU might be up the creek, though. An 'arrowing experience for all.

[Whirlygig]

Bit like the Stealth Bomber; airshow spectators marvel at the display and are incredulous that the aircraft just can't be seen or heard!!!

HOW could this possibly happen?

[212man]

S-92 operators take note - and your reason for starting the APU before landing is what, exactly................:ugh:

(Sorry, couldn't think of an amusing American Native joke, but enjoyed those above!)

[212man]

HOW
Sid,
I think he was making an amusing reference to an '80s TV programme that in turn made reference to a Native American expression (supposedly.) But I'm sure you knew that....;)

[Non-PC Plod]

Paleface speak with forked tongue! Smoke signal from heap big APU say wigwam prices go up this year!:}

[SASless]

I heard Fair Whirls had Indian Underwear.....it kept creeping up on her!:E

[Whirlygig]

Just waiting for a pipe smoking bearded bloke in a red boiler suit

Speak Silsoe, and the devil shalt appear. In the post under yours!! :}

This is obviously Sassy's feeble attempt at saying, get Yuroks off! ;) :=

Whirls, you still around??? Thought that you were going CPL on us. (Can't wait to get Huron me Chopper)

[Whirlygig]

Still here Dan but suffrin' with an ole war wound; my pawnee. As for ... cheeky boy - Nottoway!!

Cheers

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, surely we can find out what happened without all the childish comments. The Apache name does not magically endow the aircraft with any attributes of native north americans. At least, I hope not.

[Arm out the window]

What would it take to magically endow you with a sense of humour?
Puns may not be the funniest kind of joke in the world, but there's no malice in them.
If it had been a Squirrel that had the problem, there would've probably been pages of stuff about the pilot being nuts.

[Dan D'air]

Oldlae, All US Military helicopters are named after red indian tribes. The accident was, of course, awful but luckily the pilot escaped without serious injury. The puns are well, because we can. Eh ShyT??

If it had been a Squirrel that had the problem, there would've probably been pages of stuff about the pilot being nuts.

Nuts?? Jesus. (Sorry, but this is Rotorheads!!)

[Whirlygig]

Well, we did find out what happened in the first few posts; after that? It's banter, that's all!

After one poster suggested that the the Apache "snuck" back, a trait with which many Red Indians are blessed, the rest invites the pun fest!

Cheers

Osage words Whirls, c'mon Oldlae, join in the fun.

Are you sure we can't talk you Inuit?

You'll get no satisfaction here otherwise, unless you're already off to kickapoo.

[Dan D'air]

Osage words Whirls, c'mon Oldlae, join in the fun.

Freewheel, I couldn't agree more. Absaalookee in fact.

[Arm out the window]

There are those that don't like the pun, and may mocc - a sin, you might think, but they are free to paddle their own canoes, as it were.
If they don't want to join in, it's no (cay)-use trying to make them.

[Dan D'air]

Oh please, this is getting silly now. You lot need to Mohave.

[Jim Dean]

I suppose the next thing is that Oldlae (sounds a bit indian to me!) will be Sioux'ing for the upset he's received at the poor attempts at Houma.

[Arm out the window]

Well, let's hope that any test flying that's required after this controversial incident is done by a properly qualified tee pee.

[Heli-phile]

Injun failure!!!!!!
Fast, simple and effective. nice one:ok:
All the others are great as well, in there own way the humerless ones are just as funny,:ugh:
