What happens to the guy who catches a taxi-ace?

He sleeps in his own bed.

As told by one of the sim instructors in Meridian, the ball is just a crutch for a poor deck spotter.

Would that be advice from the helo-pilot turned station T-2 pilot who sounds like a hill-billy?

I actually had to perform a derivative of this "go-around" today in the form of a test waveoff initiated by paddles.....I nearly shat myself.

No, that would be the former VT-9 CO who is one of the coolest guys there.

Edit: and if you "pulled up" like the reporter said, I bet Paddles would have given you a good reason to crap yourself afterward . . .:icon_tong

I think the next time this asshat is forced to fly the pilot should ask (and be approved) for the overhead.

I'm sure A4s, HAL, or Boom Boom has had the thought occur to them at least once.

So i know this article was pretty lame and we practice them all the time but....How often do airliners actually do these? Ive never been on one thats done it and ive flown a lot. I caused one to waveoff when i was flying my early IFS flights. My flight instructor looked at me and said "you just cost that airline thousands of dollars", did i feel bad not really but it begs the question. How often do they do them

One time in 4 years of this airline biz... And it was an abortion.. I knew the procedures but of course the Captain took the jet and f'd it up.. Same thing happened to bud of mine about 6 months ago... He is a Marine reserverist in NMM... 1st initial P last G (callsign of course)... We do it once every 6 months in the sim but it happens rarely on the line..

I'll tell you, the carrier would be damn near impossible with all the checklists and the Air Force Pussies and their civilian counterparts, which tend to be less uptight and cooler!!!

Pig?! If so, that guy gave me my callsign. Great American.

'Tis easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.
