"During the flight, he had struck up a conversation with one of the flight attendants. He shared that he had been a test pilot for the B-2 Spirit and other aircraft."

Oops. I'd better stop doing that. What if this happened on my flight?

Airman takes co-pilot's stick during in-flight emergency

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

The co-pilot was having a seizure.

He must have had the fish.

"This is your captain speaking. Does anyone on board have experience flying anything larger than a Gulfstream? Or has anybody recently stayed in a Holiday Inn Express?"

The 737's pilot, now without a co-pilot, decided to divert to Colorado Springs Airport. The flight attendant told him about Colonel Neumann's experience as a test pilot. "You'll do," the captain told the colonel. So Colonel Neumann moved from coach to better than first class. Despite being new to the 737 airframe, Colonel Neumann said he helped the pilot run checklists and land the plane. Upon landing in Colorado Springs just after 10 a.m., a medical crew from the base here arrived to assist the co-pilot. Unfortunately, Colonel Neumann's eventful flight led to a crew and aircraft change in what was supposed to be a nonstop flight to Los Angeles. Given his involvement, the colonel was late in arriving to the ticket counter to get onto the new flight. The new aircraft was booked solid. However, when the ticketing agent learned he had been the one who co-piloted the airliner after the emergency, the agent booked him a first-class seat. "Not quite as good as the one I had," Colonel Neumann said.

You have to love our Air Force ...

That's great! I hope the co=pilot's OK now.

Good thing the pax didn't have the fish.

"About one and a half hours into the flight, the flight attendant made an announcement requesting a doctor or nurse."

"I just want to wish you good luck. We're all counting on you."

"You'll do," the captain told the colonel.........


LOL!

[jackbill]

That's OK. The Col. was probably backed up by Joe Patroni. Or has he retired?

While boarding our flight from Honolulu to LAX, a fellow passenger was gushing to my husband that she was very happy that he was on the flight. My husband gave her a puzzled look. I pointed out to him that he had on his Blue Angels shirt. He then turned to the other passenger to inform her that he didn't fly them he just fixes them.

"It's an entirely different kind of flying.....altogether".
