Hello fellow PPRuNers,
I have been searching this site for three days for a thread detailing the exploits of a pilot from zero to hero. I read it and highly enjoyed it a while back and was going for a second helping only to realise I failed to bookmark the thread. :ugh:
From memory, the thread itself was a few years old and the pilot in question had managed to suffer tyre blow outs in a 146 (the hostie commented "That tyre blow out was interesting" or some such) experienced some scud running trying to get into Christmas Island with min fuel and probably the funniest part was when they, as an instructor, "borrowed" somone's light twin at night only to have a gear and or electrical system malfunction. :ok:
It was a cracking good read and would love it if someone could point me in the thread's direction. It was by an Aussie, but not sure if it was in D&G or elsewhere.
