Hey airplane & other Pilots

About 10 years ago I took my wife and another couple up in our plane at the time (Beech B24R) for an afternoon flight, the 2 women sat in the back and my friend sat in the right seat. I was letting him do some straight and level flying when I decided to demo to him the affects of moving the yoke fore and aft... well it was when I pushed the nose over that my wife reached from the back seat and smacked me in the back of the head and said "don't ever do that again!!", then my friend turned to her and said "don't ever smack the pilot while I'm in the plane because that's going to kill all of us, when we land I am going to kill just him!" They all got over it and have flown with me many many times since....
 
Ever dream that you were flying.....then, wake up and you ARE.
(Nope me neither....)

I wasn't asleep...I was studying the overhead panel..

When I was in the National Guard, we were flying to South America. I walked up to the flight deck and the pilot, co-pilot and navigator were all asleep! Pilot had a newspaper over his head.

The only person not sleeping was the flight engineer.........
 
Don't ever let me wake up and catch you sleeping.

Never even considered that. That guy took a chance of having his bell rung on the ground. That guy was in real fear.

Kind of had the opposite happen. I flew with three friends (one of which owned the plane) to an airshow once. Their all private pilots and I have an airline background. They wanted me to fly back if the weather turned. It did. Normally when I fly small planes it's just VFR on nice days. However I agreed. I filed IFR to get home. An hour into the flight we entered a pretty thick could deck, everything was fine and normal. The nephew of the planes owner was in the back seat. All of a sudden he started screaming. At first I thought it was a joke. Then he started screaming we were all going to die. I turned around and looked at him to see if he had a valid reason for what he was screaming about then I looked at everyone else in the plane for a response. They were all frozen. He wouldn't stop. I turned around and shouted at him what's wrong with you, STFU. He continued. The owner and uncle was sitting next to me. I looked at him and said if you don't get him to stop I'm going to put my fist in his mouth. This guy was screaming LOUD. He couldn't get the guy to stop. Then I asked for a lower altitude, got out of the clouds, canceled our flight plan and flew in the clear the rest of the way. Much, much further out or our way. You could've heard a pin drop on the rest of the way home. We got on the ground and he apologized, then the uncle told him, "I guess you'll never be an airline pilot, you idiot."

I have done things like that. "But only" to my friends that play big and bad. I guess my best was when I took my best friend Tommy up, he swore I could not scare him so I put us into an inverted spin. He cried like a baby.
Also that was a fix wing plane not a chopper as the clip said....

What kind of plane?
 
Years ago I was a skydiving instructor / jumpmaster.

I used to put static line students out at 3K. One time I have a student who was a pilot. We are running jumprun right down the runway > upwind. I open the door on the 182, this guy looks down and sees a Citabria rotate and he screams.. "I can't jump! I will hit that plane"...

I close the door and we go around for another try. I tell him it is not a problem - I show him that his static line was attached and 10' from the plane his chute will open... and those planes at at like 150' off the ground... we are at 3,000' ... he seems calm.. we try again... he looks down and sees a 172 taking off... and screams again....

I close the door and bring him down... he never did jump. On the ground I told him that he got close enough to "hit" one of those planes he had a much bigger issue.... like a terminal impact with the dirt. LOL.
 
Owww had lots of fun with that one till I slammed it into a grass strip after a bird strike.
