Not sure if this qualifies in this ‘fun with students’ thread, but on my last type rating ground school, one mid-week evening the course of 8 of us plus our ex RN instructor (hence my excuse for butting in on the mil forum!) went to the local ‘Spoons, just for a beer and a burger before back to hotel for more study. Well that was the intention. At 1130 that night, our instructor was standing on the table, at attention, belting out ‘God Save The Queen’ in a beautiful Welsh baritone. We all joined in, while one part of my brain was wondering if the result was going to be getting thrown out, or a massive punch up….Pleasantly surprised when the entire pub applauded!
Next day, the door to our classroom kept getting opened, another instructor would stick his head in, breath in the methanol fumes we were all exhaling, mutter ‘Jesus!’ then retreat. Obviously they’d heard about us, and were coming to check for themselves. I think we were supposed to be covering performance that day, but don’t think it was a particularly productive day.
