Loved it, thanks. Levity from the flight crew is always a good thing.
After many flights on a chartered aircraft you get familiar with the crew and they with the passengers, I just wish I had recorded some of the inflight announcements from the cockpit, things like the ‘bump’ as we crossed the Arctic Circle, the pilot would say ‘oops, just crossed the Arctic Circle,’ or on a clear day right above Mt. McKinley, at 400mph suddenly chop the power and announce ‘see those climber’s down there’, of course everyone looked every time they pulled the stunt. At other times the competition would pass us and the pilot would put their conversations on the intercom as they chided each other on the radio about who was the best pilots. The close relationship allowed for humor and calm when it was nasty weather and horrible conditions. Far too many ‘carrier landings’ on dirt strips,landing sideways in a crosswind and IFR take offs and landings in whiteouts for me to enjoy flying anymore.
…..Thank you BobF, for sending this to me.
Just as long as non of the crew have rocket launchers or grenades.
