“Honey, how did your flying lesson go this morning?”
Argentina?
So much for asking if he yelled Geronimo when he jumped. I doubt he knows too many our American Indian peoples names. My dad was 82nd airborne in 1951 he said he yelled that Geronimo name as he went through the door. I asked him why? He said because everyone did. I yell it when I jump outa bed at 74 I still don’t know why.
Exited??
Makes it sound like he was stepping out for coffee
A solo flight that student won’t soon forget.
What did she write in her log book for that flight?
He had no intention of jumping from the plane when they took off, but then he made the mistake of asking her how her day was going.
That must have been a real nasty fart.
“Nag Nag Nag, I’m going for a walk!”
This whole thing sounds fishy to me. Are they sure he was alive when they took off?
Probably tough to do an autopsy on a body that goes SPLAT.
If you don’t give it to me I’ll jump.
Student Forced To Land Plane.
= = =
Student is not forced to land the plane.
It will land itself with or without her.
In the 20 to 30 seconds it took for him to land after jumping out, I wonder at what point he thought, “that was stupid”...
The headline is at least prejudicial if not deliberately deceptive because other sources report that the young woman held a pilot’s license of some sort.
I don’t know Argentina’s flight regs but most of the world just copies the US’s, and under the FARs, you can only be a “student” pilot if you have received your student’s license or are training to receive it. If you have a sport or private license (or anything more elevated), the term “student” no longer applies, even if you’re receiving dual instruction from a certificated flight instructor toward a more elevated certificate.
Which means she already had received enough dual instruction to at least know how to land the plane. Other reports mention she had “limited” flight experience, so she might only have held a student’s license but even a licensed student pilot is authorized to fly solo.
those Latin’s, they are so emotional and dramatic.
Most of the time the instructor has you taxi in, gets out and says, “You’re on our own.”
