Not quite as bad as the Soviet tales, but I remember one balmy summer day on a certain UAS in the midlands. It was the week before the airshow and those of us not on the programme had been tasked with getting everything ready.

A civi Dakota came in - I forget exactly why - but the hostie was rather fetching (we did wonder what he needed a hostie on board for, but having seen her, we could see his point!). Anyway, to cut a long story short, after lunch, we were given the option of a quick pax ride round the local area. It all seemed to go to plan, we got out of the sqn for a bit, spent half an hour watching the hosties breasts trying to get out of her uniform every time we hit a bit of a turbulence and then landed back without any drama.

So where does this all fit in with the thread? As we walked back to ops, the pilot pipes up about what a successful flight it was - the engineers must have fixed it finally as it was only the second time that month he hadn't had an engine failure on finals!
