Then there was the crab that couldn't marry the lobster princess cos he walked sideways. One day he turned up in front of the lobster king, walking as straight as a die. The King was amazed and the princess delighted.
Why? etc., etc.
I always walk like this when I'm pi$$ed.
He never became a prince.
Then again, you blokes don't know y'er born.
This thread has just brought back a horrible memory of my first command days on a Dak.
Taxiing at Amsterdam, Highway on the right - down below a steep bank; cars whizzing by. Strong X-wind. Left brake fading, more right engine. Going faster. Both of us standing on the left brake. Swinging right, more right engine...even better view of cars. More engine - more speed. Considered Mayday and taking off on taxiway. Considered throwing some of the bricks that I was sitting on, out and under the left wheel. Ug! Bag brakes.
Can't you use differential power, or does that burn the brakes too much?
