NOJWOD:
Wasn't there a RAAF pilot years ago who managed to successfully glide a Sabre into a landing and save the aircraft, only to be carpeted for disobeying SOPs?
Garry Cooper, RAAF Mirage pilot, deadsticked a Mirage not once, but twice, saving the RAAF a bloody fortune.... and was thoroughly bollocked for his efforts.
Went the The Bad Place as an FAC in a Birddog, did some very bloody hairy stuff with the septics at zot feet on the two-way rifle range, then after leaving the RAAF became a 747 Captain. He retired as a Capt on Ansett 747s. Wrote an excellent book - 'Sock it to 'em Baby'.
