Pilots earning their keep

For that “Bar In The Sky” where all good pilots go when their number is called.:angel:
(Or should I re-phrase that using the philosophy of the late comedian Dave Allen) 😀

Yes please 😀 I’ll take it!

Make a nice ornament for someone’s bar

Fair to say, that’s the last time aloft for that window!

We earned our keep somewhat yesterday after a window failure at 36,000 feet over the Atlantic ocean. Lucky it was the outer panel so it doesn’t require depressurisation. After turning off the window heat, the pane cracked, but I didn’t get a picture.

Stirring porridge we used to say.

Deano and all pilots that can still fly an aircraft (not just fly the ‘fly by wire’ systems and become totally inept when the ‘fly by wire’ fails) deserve astounding acclaim.:angel:

Cheers – Do raise a glass everyone.

Here are a few still pics (severe crosswinds and atmospheric changes are not ingracious purely just to small aircraft as pics depict)
