A cargo pilot I knew was on a night flight to Portland and took his girlfriend along. He put it on autopilot and they were getting it on and when ATC finally got his attention he was almost 100 miles to sea!

That's what makes me curious about the Darwin Award Winners. Why didn't they just put on the Auto Pilot?

For that matter, John John Kennedy would still be alive today if he had activated his Auto Pilot - but I digress.

Let's talk about cheating on your girlfriend in her car and getting caught, dead and naked.

;-)

Carry on.

There was a case about a year ago in Texas when two experienced pilots flying a late model Piper had reported 10 miles out for landing but never showed up until the plane was found in Mexico, several hundred miles along the exact course they had been following. CO levels in the blood of both were off the chart. Got them quick or they would have reduced power to approach their destination airport.
