True story... long transit back from Iceland... only guys awake are the pilots, the flight eng. and the navigator...rest of the crew sleeping, just about to start the descent . Heard over the intercom: Pilot:"Nav, wake the sleepers, we're going down." (five second pause) Nav:"Uh...confirm we're in the descent,... you've got 8 guys crying back here!" Pilot:"Oh #$@^, sorry guys yes, we're now in the descent" or perhaps this one... "Shut down one,......prop is feathered, fire warning is out... nav, what's the heading for the nearest airport? Start dumping..." or... "Selecting number two, starting number two, turning number two, fuel flow, ignition, light-off, temperature rise..." "Holy ^&%%...TORCHING NUMBER 2" There are some days I really don't miss flying for a living.......
