NO FIN WAY!! LOL omg i bet he shit himself
well he’ll of been battered and bruised, and will be slated by his friends for the rest of his life -but he walked away
That’s why the deck crew love pilots…
One of those guys got away with about two feet to spare!
“hmmm… looks off to me…”
nice
on a pilots record how would this look? is this a crash? would this take him off active duty? or does he get props cause he did not ruin the jet and lived? ideas? (aside from getting blasted by other pilots!)
Most of those are highly unlikely consequences, except he’ll definitely get crap from other pilots. He’ll probably be grounded for some time before getting back into the air (assuming he didn’t break any bones). Pilots cost major time and $$$ to train so they have to do something pretty horrific to be kicked out.
