I got CO poisoning and accidentally (well...I wasn't exactly thinking 100%) flew into IMC a few minutes later.

Continued to fly on to my destination (about another 20 min.) by hand, while navigating with only a handheld GPS unit in the dash as I threw up, and fought conciousness.

Without an instrument rating either.

Fortunately, my destination was only marginal VFR below 1000' AGL, or I'd have been in trouble.
 
I fell alseep while on Fire patrol.
I put a plane into a spin at 1500' and recovered with 500' to spare.
 
The craziest things to happen in an airplane?

There was this one trip where the the freight showed up on time, the wx was severe clear, it was daytime, and we weren't in Mexico.

No, he was kneeling on the seat and steering with his butt cheeks.

Good one.

I had a crew chief report that two male soilders in the aft row were engaging in oral sex and that one soldier had vacated his seat in the center row to observe. We landed at the objective and it was discovered one of the participants was a female. No problem, carry on. As I am fairly certain they did after we left.

:eek:

Somehow I twisted this in my mind as a scene in a cockpit where the F/A walks and catches the pilot buttcheek-flyin, then she turns around and slowly closes the door behind her.

Yes i'm tryin to peddle this script to hollywood.

I was thinking more along the lines of "bart simpson" butt cheek flying, not "candy stripers gone wild" butt cheek flying, but who am I to keep you from running with it.
 
We arrived over Guatemala City at night, and there weren't a half-dozen potent thunderstorms and driving rain over the field.
...and the braking action was good! And the 738 flaps 40 landing was gentle!!

Seriousness: Early in my aviation career, I was in a piston single, a Grumman AA-1B, stupidly doing a night flight from Tampa to Crestview, Fla. Sea fog rolled in and covered all of the Florida panhandle in a matter of minutes. I had no fuel to go anywhere, as everything in range was severe IMC. All I had was a lousy Escort 110 in a VMC airplane. So I circled Crestview for a short time, sweating bullets, then actually began heading towards Eglin to ask for a PAR, and failing that, to let down over the water and ditch, rather than auger in over land. At that moment, it was like the hand of God opened a hole over Crestview; I spiraled in and landed on fumes. Worst thing was my wife was with me. She couldn't figure out why I was shaking like a leaf. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
 
You wouldn't believe me if I told you, but, it involved a stall and a touch and go in a cow pasture. With cow's :eek:
 
One Time....at band camp......Actually it happened in the back of the Jetstream 31, 3 people onboard, 2 men 1 Hot Blond, all together. One guy is up front talking to us when we all look back and in the isle at the back row....toes pointed up, toes pointed down.....well you can figure out the rest. We had to request 2 turns in the hold over Evansville at the urging of the coupling couple.
 
I've had 2 engine failures less than 500 agl. Both were in the same J3. With one the carb. came loose in the center and the other is still a mystery. Both times I was able to put it down on the landing strip but I barley made it the second time. It was after that time that I realized I wasn't having fun anymore and (just like Cartman) I wanted to go home. Quite shookup I was. Boss yelled at me when I told him I cleaned the plugs 50 hours before. He said it should have been 25! He blamed the failure on dirty plugs. Boss puts brand new plugs in and flys the pattern only to have the engine quit. He glides safely back unfazed cause he's so used to being the test pilot and then they discover a screw missing from the carb. Bastards! To try and blame me regarding the plugs.
 
I thought I saw a good-looking flight attendant the other day on my flight to PHX, but then she turned around...
 
Flying over the Great White North between Minneapolis and Tokyo in the back of a 747. Girl in front of me gave me the eye as I got on and sat down. Stretch my legs and accidentally bump into her feet---"sumimasen" (I'm sorry) I say and she bumps ME back a few seconds later and giggles. Footsie becomes reaching over the seat with the lights out and playing "Learn Japanese the Braille Way". Guy next to her wakes up to use the lav---when he comes back I ask to switch seats. Sit down to a full-blown grope session under the blanket, and then she stands up and motions ME to the lav---I guess it's the 6 mile high club up that far, right?

Great story made even better and even worse by the next sentence---until the blissful post-coupling no words were spoken! Greatest moment of my life until that point---and then we did speak and I found out she was a 16yo foreign exchange student headed home to Japan. I was then 23, so I felt like a perv and the euphoria disappeared. As I've aged even more though...I'm back to feeling like it was one of my better moments.

Save the perv remarks please!
