In flight pranks

[BD King]

Told to me by the FE. Somewhere over the Atlantic in a KC-97, the newbie went pee pee and the guys locked the door and rang the bail-out bell. In a fit of panic, the guy knocked the door off of its hinges.

Silent but Deadly..................

A friend of mine, (who is well known for releasing an incredibly foul smelling intestinal odor from what must be a rotting digestive system), unleashed an SBD in the cockpit one day.

Before the smell could reach my side of the "office" he said in a frightening tone, "oh my god...I think we have a cabin fire. Do you smell smoke"? Knowing that an inflight cabin fire is just about the worst situation to be in, especially at 30W, I sniffed the air to test it for this unseen "smoke". Unfortunately, I did not smell smoke but instead inhaled a vile gasseous vapor compiled of rotting grilled salmon and the necrosing flesh of an alcoholic's intestines that only moments before was quietly gurgling its way out of my co-captain's rear main seal.

After recovering from the initial shock and salivating that is a normal reaction just before you vomit, I opened the dump valve and went on 100% ABO. He was laughing so hard that he unwillingly honored me with the remander of his personal brand of nerve gas.

When you're riding in someone's jumpseat, I think a great gag is to point out the window and say, "Traffic eleven o'clock!" Then while they're both looking outside, reach out and pull a T-handle or two.

I paid a mechanic to reverse the aileron linakages. This guy went down the runway, lifted off, and proceeded to make a VERY steep right turn until the aircraft was almost inverted. He never recovered, but unbelievably, he lived. When I went to visit him in the hospital, I started laughing, and told him about the practical joke. He wasn't laughing.

I hope you are kidding. That is not fuc*ing funny at all. He could have easily been killed and your @ss would be locked up for a long time as well as the POS mechanics. The pilot should have noticed this during his before T.O. checklist id he were diligent. Come to think of it they SHOULD charge the mechanic with reckless endangerment and attempted invoulintary manslaughter and then charge you as an accessory.

I started laughing

Bet you won't be when you meet big Bubba, huh?


Listen, I'm all for practical jokes but surely you should know this is anything but funny, kid. There is a certain line you don't cross. Just thank GOD every day that is wasn't your @ss in that plane that day.

Yes, I am quite sure he was kidding

The strings from the cockpit dates back to C-47 days. Sometimes for a prank, especially before a checkride, sometimes a guy would hide in the far rear of the plane and manipulate the control surface cables during the flight, or so I read, just to mess with the guy going thru the checkride.

Are you joking? or am I equally dense?

Haha, yes he was, he's the biggest tool around. I'm glad I never had to fly with him, neither ddid any of my students.

How are things goingfor you,working on your instrument yet?

 

[cforst513]

oh yeah. already got like 12 hours of dual in 5 flights. leigh is a great teacher, i owe you one for suggesting her to me. she really knows her stuff and is willing to go really fast with me. my goal is a month or less with this one, though in theory i could be done in 2 weeks. we'll see, though. i haven't flown in 2 days b/c of MX and for some reason she cancelled today. i have yet to utilize my pilot's license, though. haven't flown by myself yet. i'll get to it eventually.

 

[Flechas]

Sounds like you are doing great man, I'm happy for you. You have to take me fora ride next time I go there!

At this pace you are going youshould have your CFI by the end of the year or early next one!

 

[cforst513]

that's the plan!! i am already starting to plan out some time-building trips for my commercial. i'm excited and glad it's going as well as it is. i'm very thankful that you told me about the school, too. now, i expect that you'll answer my "where to fly-in and eat" thread that i started. i'm counting on ya, man

 

[Flechas]

haha, haven't seen that one yet!
