SLF playing their part
Sadly, Kegworth springs to mind...if a passenger ( or for that matter, cabin crew ) had spoken up, " No, not that engine on fire, the other one " a tragedy may have been avoided.
I'm SLF on airliners, but on light aircraft as a photographer try to be useful rather than ' sitting there '.
So far I've spotted asymetrically loaded fuel tanks, 2 out of 3 greens before take off and a near head-on with a Chinook, + a drugged pilot falling unconcious among other fun times, and that was mostly with very experienced ex-services pilots ( Not Dunsfold though, in case anyone recognises me ); no-one's perfect 100% of the time, and I'm sure any sensible pilot would prefer people to speak up; better a live idiot than a quiet member of the deceased, and it's not only my life to consider !
