The setting:

Me instructing an Air Training Corps Cadet for his PPL. We're doing a cross-country flight. He's a good, keen student; I'm barely conscious, as this is the third student of the day on the same route, and it's a glorious summer's day.

XXX Approach being manned by a guy I think is now at Brussels FMU, then also a part time instructor at same flight school, one of the funniest wits I have ever known, and he knows I'm on board.

Student passes over a turning point, get's himself onto his new track, works out his ETA for the next point, and then does a position report:

"XXX Approach, G-WK was overhead YYY at time 51, 2000 feet, VMC, estimate XXX at 68".

"G-WK, XXX Approach, roger, turn right heading 370°"

Pause of about 30 seconds, controller transmitts, "Did he turn?"

Reply: "Yup....." and then sound of "...Oouch" from student as I twang an earpiece from one of his ears!!!!!


And, on the Shorts 360 theme:

Definition of a Shorts 360?

The box the Twin Otter came in




Keep 'em coming, guys !!!
