"I walks the Dog"

We taxis for the runway
We enters and backtracks
Then...
We rolls

We departs on our journey
We climbs and then we maintains

We approaches our descent point
then we descends
on the way we passes through some different levels

We joins the curcuit
and then we turns base
and of course turns final

We then vacates the runway
knocks off
goes home........
and walks the dog

A nice try but you would have to go a long way to beat the Lippy/Freaker composition "Bound for Darnley" sung to the tune of "I was only nineteen".

An all time classic!

BOUND FOR DARNLEY…..A Flight Over the Deep Blue.

First light at Horn Island
And the cloud was grey as slate,
As we kicked over
And rolled on zero eight.

The 206 was the first to go
And it was me who drew the card,
Out to Darnley
We did Kubin along the way.

And I can still see Mick and Mangy
Sitting on the couch back home,
Drinking VB tinnies
And playing Nintendo all alone.

Who’ll make the homebrew now
And who gets my CD’s
God help me…
I was bound for Darnley.

Levelled out at five and a half.
Hemispherical all the way.
Playing by the book
To keep those CASA boys at bay.

Looked down below and I saw a Bongo
Airborne out of Sue,
It was Lippy,
He was headed for Badu.

Then the engine started missing,
And the bloke behind me swore!
I went down along the checklist,
Through all that I’d been taught.

But nothing made it right again,
It was a stuffed up state to be.
God help me….
I was bound for Darnley.

I scanned the sea for a place to land
There was only one small reef
It was looking ugly
I knew we’d come to grief.
It was then I knew we were going down
The situation was looking grim
My heart was racing
Cause I knew I couldn’t swim.

There was Dixter, Dengue, Deefa
All the boys were out that day,
Sitting in their cockpits
All the fellas could do was prey.

But I changed the tanks
She sprang to life
I couldn’t have been much dumber
God help Me…..
I should have been a plumber.

Back upstairs she was looking good
It seemed I’d got us out of strife
The bloke beside me
Would be happy to see his wife.

Close to Darnley it was top of descent
And it was time to go on down,
I was in control now,
But I’d left my undies brown.

It was downhill on one zero,
With five knots up the arse.
At least the brakes were working
Thank Christ it wasn’t grass
I parked the plane,
Then turned around…..
The pax were in a flurry
HEY PILOT….YOU SABE WE STOP MURRAY!!!

And the ANSETT legends didn’t mention
Slogging around the straits.
A lifestyle that would make you cry,
If it wasn’t for your mates.

Now I’m in Sydney flying a jet
In money I am swimmin’….
God help me…
I MISS THOSE DARK WOMEN!!!!!

TwoHundred,

Excellent, excellent.

There will be many who just don't quite get what you're on about, but there will also be many of us that do.

Nice work. Keep it up.

Let's see shall we? It doesn't look promising so far. Perhaps it was a little too subtle.

YOU DIDN'T LAND!
Haven't heard anyone "lands" Dr. but I guess it's possible.

Thumbs down

Two Hundred

"Uniform Juliet Yankee THE Aerocommander (what? is there only one left?) JOINS downwind... TURNS base..."

... not to mention "descends", "maintains", "enters and backtracks".

It all sounds like something out of CJ Dennis - "An I sez to Eileen..."

I haven't read the AIP for a couple of days but I am fairly sure it should be JOINING Downwind... Turning base... but then what would I know.

Horatio,
It's an epidemic mate. Fact is that it is mostly the RPT crews that resort to the "decends, joins, taxis, backtracks" etc etc etc. Of course a lot of pilots chtr or pvt will hear this and think to themselves, hey that sounds pretty good... I'll do the same.

But don't we have to add an "s" to everything 'cause there's two of us sitting up front.... that's how I always thought it worked...

No Body,
Well to cover the two of you up front, shouldn't you say "We're" ?
