Oopsie…

They say a picture is worth a thousand words… These are worth a chuckle or two also…
It’s been ONE of those weeks (H/T Aepilot Jim)
Doh…

Aw Crap…

Oh S**T….

One note- This does show how tough an AV-8B Harrier is!

Well, 2 notes… The pilot DID ride it out until he was sure it would not go into a hangar or the flight line, so he does get credit for that… The landing? Well, THAT is gonna take a bit of explaining…

  1. Well, that is one heck of a ride he’ll never forget, and I am sure his CO will make sure of that.

    The bike was funny, remember it is the frame that is expensive, whells are cheap.

  2. What he did was ride it out till his seat was a smokin.

  3. Just a bit too much flare, a tail strike and it’s all she wrote…a metaphor for life.

  5. What would have been hysterical would be if someone had hooked the hot air balloon up to the job-johnnie, and THEN floated that sucker!

    Wonder what 4 letter word would have come out of that poor man’s mouth??

    WSF- A BUNCH! I know one I worked on was 6 volumes of about 500 pages each…

    Anon- Oh… something to remember 🙂

  7. You know the old saying about planes that have retractable gear?

    It’s not if they’ve had a wheels up landing but when.

    Actually, it made the same sound as that Harrier. :=(
