'H' was on the jumpseat of a '10 going into a certain aerodrome once, his mum was in the back. The aerodrome had a very tricky turn off, if you missed it, there was an extremely tricky 180 deg turn on the runway to be done. At least one '10 had gone onto the grass trying...

Captain mentions this to 'H' on the final approach. "What happens if you miss it?" he asked. "Well, sir, I guess that I'll just have to offer my reignation to your mother" came the reply.

"Hang on a sec" says 'H', wherupon he unstraps and nips out of the flight deck, only to emerge again shortly afterwards with a grin on his face and straps back in.

"She says she'll accept!" announces 'H'.

Fortunately they made the turn off!
