Mayday???

One of only two or three mayday calls I have heard was from a young student in a warrior, who got some turbulence and crosswind on short final. I don't know what he thought a mayday call would do. He should have been concentrating on flying the aircraft. He pranged it, and discontinued his flying training. (yes, he survived ok)

Something was not right there.
