+Typhoid Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Carrier Pilot - slam it into the numbers, stand on the brakes and take the first turn off, send out the ground crew to pick up the pieces that fell off... USAF Pilot - grease it on and gradually use the entire runway available, gently turn into the last turn off 1 Quote
Silberpfeil Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Very entertaining - and perhaps some truth in there somewhere! Quote
Fubar512 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I recall once hearing an announcement after we had landed at Houston Hobby airport, crediting the co-pilot with a smooth landing. The pilot went on to say "That's really unusual for a former Naval aviator." 1 Quote
Skyviper Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 I recall once hearing an announcement after we had landed at Houston Hobby airport, crediting the co-pilot with a smooth landing. The pilot went on to say "That's really unusual for a former Naval aviator." Did you a hear a soft "F@#! you, captain." over that intercom? Quote
Fubar512 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Did you a hear a soft "F@#! you, captain." over that intercom? LOL, no. In fact, the captain went on to mention that his co-pilot was soon due for promotion to captain. Quote
macelena Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Meanwhile, some paratroopers are thankful you didn´t throw them from the aircraft midflight. Just my 2 cents Quote
