has wet his pants and lost his Mum" etc etc! (To be fair that last bit was me!!)
You lost your Mum AND wet your pants ... not a good day for you at all Ish.
Airshows Downunder, Avalon Airport, cira 1999 or so, Bob Hoover well into his Shrike handling display (both engines, one engine, zero engines to landing. Very good display), Bob has just shutdown the second engine when ATC line up two RNZAF Skyhawks on the runway ...
Hoover, "Tower, I'm lining up for landing no engines!"
ATC, "Roger that, Skyhawks expedite."
Skyhawks immediately roll, Hoover lands very close behind and into their jet blast. Heard around the bar after wards that ATC "got a bit of a tune up from Hoover over that one."
Great thread, keep 'em coming.
Cheers,
