Remove before flight
 

The aircraft was obviously not cleared for cat operations, and it was probably an illegal CAT flight anyway. Not recommended, fly with someone else.

Super CM. Thanks.

CM, reminds me of a 70 Sqn. Hastings F700 entry.
"Mice seen in rear hold" to which some enterprising rigger had responded "Cat installed in rear hold"

Was that a CAT 1 approach?

The landing was purrfect.

Poor pre-flight checks. He could have lost his flying cat!

.....or.....


Didn't the Tornado have a Mouser in the front?

My Feline Overlord Reginald The Aloof gives this two paws up, and thanks you for sharing.:ok:

I was just watching CM's link on my laptop while Mrs G was watching the news.
She suddenly cried out ''oh look at that poor cat!'' I looked up and there it was on the TV.

Old story and not sure if true but transport aircraft carrying loads of missiles with safety pins in with flag saying 'remove before flight' so the loadmaster did :eek:

Couldn't happen in the UK, we're not CAT equipped.............

The incident you refer to involved 8 x 8 mx loads (4 Skyflash, 4 AIM9L) during Op CORPORATE, Leuchars to ASI. All motors and warheads armed, and fuse covers and noddy caps removed by the LM. ISTR the AIM9L were returned to the UK because of suspected damage to the seeker heads - the noddy caps were there for impact protection but also to prevent the un-powered heads bouncing off the stops. CM will probably be able to spout the technical details for you because he was a QWI and had to learn all that stuff.

Courtney, is that a Mrs Slocombe in the LH seat perchance :}

"Not much of a walk-round, was it, Hoskins ? - you'll have do better than that - it could have been cat-astrophic !"

("Only eight lives left now" says Tibbles).

or "Here's looking at you, Cat",

or "Cats Away !"

(I'm not staying long)

Which only goes to show that there's more comedy genius in a few, worthy, PPRuNe members than all of the Cambridge Footlights.

Remember you saw it here first!

Danny:

Walk-around? Are you suggesting that this lovely couple actually did a walk-around pre-flight? :)

Flies a bit left wing low, Chief.

Hoskins cat-egorically denies that there were any foreign feline objects on board when he taxied out !

(Shall we transfer this to the Cat-iion Competition ?)
