Skip over this one if you've heard it .....

A GA pilot of fairly modest means dies in his sleep and heads upstairs. He rings the intercom at the Pearly Gates and St Peter says he'll be down to see him shortly.

Whilst he's waiting he sees a Bonanza coming in to land just adjacent to the Gates. The pilot's a maniac - he's too fast, he's kicking the rudder one way then another, he balloons then dives for the runway and lands nose gear first. The nose gear collapses and the aircraft comes screeching to a halt with bent blades, a wrecked IO550 and panel damage galore. The Bonanza's pilot calmly steps out and walks away.

Our friend the GA pilot shakes his head in amazement and goes on waiting for St Peter. A few minutes later he hears a P-51 coming in. The P-51 bounces and bounces and the tail's going up and down and up and down and only just avoids the wrecked Beechcraft on the Heaven runway. A savage ground loop follows, a tip digs in and the aircraft flips. The pilot wriggles out - IT'S THE SAME BLOKE!

Our mate's jaw is on the floor. Just then, as he watches the P-51 pilot walk away as though nothing has happened, St Peter arrives. "Hello" he says.
"Wha .... who ..... DID YOU SEE THAT?" he asks St Peter "what's going on - who is that bloke?"

"Ooooh, that's just God" says St Peter "he thinks he's a surgeon ...."
