If the "lucky" civi pilot had suffered a complete electrical failure or failure of all avionics....I would suggest his bigger worry was aircraft handling vice worrying about being mugged by the Crabs. I should think such a situation might be rather removed from "stumbling" about.
What happened to the concept of being "glad to have been able to help" another aviator in a time of distress. It would appear to me the offer of a pint to the guy who had just coped with a stressful situation would have been in order.....closely followed by a "thanks much for the help" offer of a pint or two.
The pilots involved may have had different plummage but they all had wings. Why is there such lack of bonding between aviators? Times must be achanging...and not for the better it appears.
Maybe we could interest the folks here at pprune in a new line of business....buy Fighter Jocks for what they are worth....sell them for what they think themselves worth...and get rich quick on the profits.
