Cool

A bit off topic but it turned out to be a convincing wind up!

A certain flying club receives a request from a daughter of a very elderly lady who wanted an hour in a C172 as a 'last request' before she passes away due to a complicated illness. She was in a wheelchair and had an Nurse that would accompany her (hence the 4 seater C172) and needed help to get in and out of the aircraft, the daughter also said that her mum had an array of electrical medical equipment that she would have to carry on board!

The chap in ops takes her details knowing fine well that she would not be fit to fly. He does not catch on to any familiar names etc etc and sits there not having the courage to phone back to inform the daughter that her mum could not fly!!!!!

The cover was then blown as it turns out that another person who works at the flying club did the spoof call!
