Long winters will do this to people.........

Long winters + a few guys getting drunk,... then someone will say the magic words: "I bet you can't do [insert_stupid_chalenge_here]".

Been there done that and had the chance not to be caught on camera... But once, I had the embarassing moment of explaining to a doctor that my 2 foots are burned because I won a bet.

This comes from a search-and-rescue pilot at Canadian Forces Base, Bagotville, Québec. It allegedly happened late one night during bad weather, as heard over the tower radio:

First Voice (helicopter pilot):
"Roger, I'm holding at 3,000 over the beacon."

Second Voice (panicky):
"No, you can't be doing that — I'm holding at 3,000 over that beacon!"

[Brief pause.]

First Voice (again):
"You idiot — you're my co-pilot."

Low Flying Drunks

(1996, Canada) Sleeping residents of Chilliwack were awakened early one morning by the sound of a small aircraft flying lower than usual.
The engine noise was like a mosquito, zooming too close too quick, then veering away. What the bleep was going on?

In the wee hours of the night, during a bout of heavy drinking, two future Darwin Award nominees concluded that, with neither had a pilot's license nor flight training, they nevertheless knew enough to pilot an aircraft, knew all they needed to know to at a local dive.
They drew the obvious conclusion, and decided to take a plane from the small local airport for a drunken joyride over the city.
They invited two females along for the ride; fortunately, the level-headed ladies declined.

From idea to execution, the plan evolved quickly.
One of the gentlemen worked at the airport and had access to the tarmac.
The two men then managed to unlock a plane and get it off the ground and into the sky.
They went on to buzz around in the dark, skimming above the roofs of the houses.
This went on for an extended period of time.

Eventually they decided to land.
They attempted to land on the grassy median between east and west-bound lanes of the Trans Canada Highway.
They almost made it under the electrical wires that cross the median. Almost.
Where these wires were concerned, fate intervened.
Instead of making a soft landing on the grassy verge, the tail clipped the wires, sending the aircraft diving nose-first into the ground and killing both occupants.

Only then were the sleepy Chilliwack residents able to return to their REM sleep.

Holy cow!!    ::unbelieveable::

But -- they COULD have been aspiring airline pilots..  I just heard on the radio last week, that the PASSENGERS on an Aeroflot flight saw that the Captain was obviously impaired.  Upon bringing it to the attention of the flight attendants, they were threatened and told to sit down, or the flight would be late.  They insisted on speaking to the entire flight crew..  after some arguing, they finally did so...  they said the Captain couldn't even stand up, but the CREW argued with the passengers that it didn't matter!

My favorite line from the whole exchange was something along the lines of "What difference does it make -- don't you know this thing can fly itself anyway??!!??!"

They finally won out and got the new crew they demanded, but the airline was furious at THEM for holding everything up.  WOW.

 ::)

 :o

(I can't recall the flight's destination -- it may have been the States -- but it happened in Decmeber '08, I believe...)

Capt Cheplevsky emerged from the cockpit. Passengers alleged that he was red-faced, had bloodshot eyes and appeared unsteady on his feet.

Attempting to intercede in the dispute, he made passengers an offer, saying:
"I'll sit here quietly in a corner. We have three more pilots. I won't even touch the controls, I promise."

According to the report on Avweb, blood tests showed no alcohol, they suspect the Pilot suffered a stroke of some sort.
If it was supposed to be easy, everyone would be doing it!

Well, whatever the hell was wrong with him, it shouldn't have taken a standoff to get a crew that was safe to fly.....  the flight attendants were quite angry and defensive, according to the interview with the passengers.

One passenger said the Captain fell against the side of the cabin while they were having their little "discussion".  He said the other crew members were propping him up.  That was before the crew fell upon their ultimate logical solution, of how the "airplane flies itself anyway".... 

Yeah, right......   ::loony::
