Apache at Cosford
I was at the Cosford show, the Apache was supposed to be doing a two handed display with a Lynx, they both left the airfield and the next we heared was that the Apache had landed in a nearby farm field suffering from a suspected APU fire.
The Lynx returned and carried out it's part of the display!.
The Apache snuck back in and was last seen with a man in a red overall poking around in it's innards while the local RAC and AA patrols in the public car parks watched in anticipation.

Here is a link to a short video of the poor thing with the man in red.

Red man in an overall? It might have been a lady in disguise (shy Anne).
This is one situation where the Indian's don't want the Caavarly to show up just in the nick of time.

Bit like the Stealth Bomber; airshow spectators marvel at the display and are incredulous that the aircraft just can't be seen or heard!!!

S-92 operators take note - and your reason for starting the APU before landing is what, exactly................
(Sorry, couldn't think of an amusing American Native joke, but enjoyed those above!)

HOW
I think he was making an amusing reference to an '80s TV programme that in turn made reference to a Native American expression (supposedly.) But I'm sure you knew that....
