The survival of everyone on board depends on just one thing: finding someone on board who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.

Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different then riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

That never, ever gets old. The co-pilots' turning to Jello! Have to be 45± to appreciate the humor I guess.

Don’t be a fool, Striker, you know what a landing like this means, you more then anybody. I’m ordering you to stay up there.

“How long until you can land this plane?”

“I can’t say.”

“You can tell me, I’m a doctor.”

“I don’t know... two hours?”

“You... can’t tell me for two hours?”

Glad there was someone to help!
chicorico70
Very glad this guy was there, but...
Was there a copilot? Why couldn't the copilot land the plane?
krispykreme
Either you 1) didn’t read or comprehend the article, or 2) don’t know that ‘first officer’ = ‘copilot.’
chicorico70
You are correct. I didn't know that first officer = copilot. Thanks for the clarification.

Nighty night, sleep tight - make sure all those toys are put away properly! Really - I thought the FlightAware blogs were a bit more sophisticated than this....
williambaker08
They are. This is just a post we were having a little fun on thats all. Doesn’t happen to often.
fredljon
Thanks for that - I didn't intend to be a party pooper!

Pardon, but do you know anyone who speaks jive?

krispykreme
LOL! Either 1) Not a professional pilot, or 2) THAT guy.

My last F/O and I were quoting Jerky Boys lines. GET BRETT WIER I SAID!!!!!! You gotta have fun on those 14 hour days and your 1587th trip to NJ.

Yes you do. Airline crews need to have a sense of humor. It helps you cope. 99 percent of them know when to turn the humor on or off. This applies to other professions as well.

Maybe we're just blowing off steam. Given the volume of politically motivated postings that bait everyone,it's refreshing to have a nice story of success that we can have a few laughs with.

All right class, enough of this frivolity Everybody go back to your desks. We have a lot of work to do this afternoon. Who wants to be the first to give their report on the history of algebra.
