They are actually pretty forgiving, so John had to work at it. They theorize that he was reaching over his left shoulder and twisting to reach the reserve fuel valve and inadvertently pushed the left rudder, but the truth is that I've had an instructor turn the plane every which way with me under the hood and it is easy to fix almost anything if you have the altitude.
John also loved his whiskey and may not have been clear headed, even if sober, so we will never know why he was at such a low altitude trying to switch tanks, but he had just gotten the plane and it was ostensibly strange to him.
My commercial pilot friend that has flown them says that they are a nice plane but their brakes suckl
Hee, hee, hee, back in the day I managed a manufacturing plant on swing shift and I gave my drop dead gorgeous niece a guided tour and a guy looking at her walked into a post. He bounced off, turned and grinned stupidly at us and then turned and walked right back into the post again.

It's OK. The war drums are silent so far...... 
Well, shipmates, it's time for this old codger to hit the hay. Wore my butt out mowing today, got a Dr. appointment tomorrow morning, and another hour on the mower before my Friday beer reward. Hugs and inappropriate gropes to the lot of ya. G'night.

My closest shave to wrecking happened on a quiet, beautiful, dead still Floriduh morning. I was doing touch-and-goes at the uncontrolled Boca Raton Airplane Patch. Had done about four or so, and a fargin 4-engined humongumous military transport plane gets in the pattern.
No big thing, but it was tres unusual for a military plane to land on this ex-military (WWII) runway nowadays. I really thought it was kewl, as I was on my downwind leg in 51Hotel the Spam Can, and could watch it coming.
I turned base leg as the monster bird approached, rapt at the sight of it, with flaps as large as my whole fargin plane. The freight train lumbered by, and I turned and followed.
It was traveling faster than I was, of course. The landing speed in a single-occupant Cessna 152 is a measly 46MPH. So he was in no way (HAH!) in my path as I approached the runway.
I forgot about the hurricanes made by big aerioplane thingies...
I was twelve feet above the runway when the nose of the Spam Can just... dropped.
Like in, a vacuum. Which it sorta was. The instant angle was so steep, I do not know to this day how the prop did not hit the runway.
But the front wheel took every bit of the weight of the entire airplane... and bounced it back up for a damned shaky landing. No damage at all.
Except for the washers bitten out of the pilot's seat by my ass-hole.

There's a reason:Old fkers. I put 2 beautiful chicks on here and not one word about anything but airplanes.
Funny as ****.
There are three things in life that form an equilateral -- and balanced -- triangle:
1. Sex
2. Flying
3. Scuba
No fair knockin' scuba or flying if you do not do these.
🛩Remember: Your unconscious mind has given you dreams about both sex and flying, right? Hmmm...
In your defense: Hoppycopters are a flying abomination. You have to wear the fargin controls. I can fly a plane with one finger -- level, up, down, left, right... But that weird thing with wings that whirl requires every part of your fargin bod at all times. Jeez.
Look like last months BOM thread is gone and Andys bud was move to the Bom winners circle just the pic and strain

While I was still working on my hours, I arrived at the airfield to find the windsock stiff and erratic, so I called my instructor and asked him if he thought I was OK to fly in blustery weather such as we were experiencing, and haven awaken from a nap, stepped outside and noted light breeze at his location, so told me to go ahead.
As soon as I lifted off and instantly crabbed, I knew I was in over my head and made the decision to make as many go arounds as it took to get it back on the ground in one piece, but that once I got it there I was going to park it. Interestingly about the time I lifted off, my instructor called back with untimely second thoughts and misgivings.
On the first pass it bucked and snorted all the away around and on final just as I passed the threshold I caught a gust that stood me on one wing tip. I instantly firewalled the throttle, stomped the rutter, cranked the wheel, and pushed the yoke forward out of trained instinct, and the 150 straightened and flared at about 10', so I cut the throttle and greased it in.
After taxiing back and parking the plane, I stepped out to tie it down, and my knees collapsed so that I fell on my butt.
Merry Frieday brothers and sisters! 60F @ 73% RH, cloudy and predicted to reach 64F.
I finished my stash box detail and am working on lid designs. Our dining table has an inlay pattern that I like and am trying to duplicate.
Breakfast out at Milo's this morning with Grayfox and NM.
