Uttering "Oh ****" with a nervous pax listening
I had to laugh this weekend, I took my sister, her husband and their son for a flight Saturday afternoon when it was, well, a little blustery, to say the least. I'm coming into land, lined up nicely, looking to put in a decent landing, am in the flare when suddenly a gust of wind catches me and raises the plane about 5 feet - well, maybe it felt like that, in reality it was probably only a couple of inches before I reacted - however the very first reaction was an exclamation - "Oh ****".
Only after I'd caught the plane, corrected and made a really smooth landing did I look at my sister to see her face a picture of unadulterated relief - I asked "What's wrong, did you not enjoy the flight?" to which she replied "when you said "Oh ****", I thought we were going to crash....."
