Rambler 1-1 9 Posted November 2, 2009 coulda been worse... at least he didn't grab the joystick! I went for a flight in an O-2 recently (an L-19 for us canucks), and the first thing the pilot said was "Don't touch anything. Can you handle aerobatics?"

ezlead 42 Posted November 4, 2009 I used to tell ALL my right seaters in the brief,If you hear me say Eject,Eject,Eject! Don't bother to look over and say "WHAT"!. All you'll see is a black smoking hole where I used to be setting. Oh yah and it will get very windy and noisy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
