Haha... nope. This was a routine engine change on another Beech 18 several years earlier. :mrgreen:

I don' think the stories about Sally are particularly funny. In fact I think they serve to illustrate just how low-brow the aviation industry has become. Pilots used to be a gentlemanly lot; now they seem to be just another bunch of low-class troglodytes. For shame.

Umm.... Just where did the pilots come into the stories about Sally?

If I were Sally, I would pee in Darkwing Ducks gloves.
Anyone ever dump a bottle of nice, clean, cold water in a persons lap? or down the front of a shirt?

The average pilot, despite the somewhat swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring.
These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

A guy on my crew in the Squadron in Germany was always leaving his line gloves lying around where I could get at them. Following a stream of minor pranks with them that I don't remember came my piece de resistance. When he came after me wondering where his glove was this time, I cheerfully showed him. Sitting opening up in a can that I'd filled with water then stuck in the freezer.

While on a medavac I left my truck unlocked and one of the boys wired my horn directly to my brake pedal! :lol:

Meatservo, grab a little bit of reality. These were all SILLY HARMLESS PRANKS. They were all played in fun and in months later she did laugh about them. In fact Sally is quite a nice girl. Dim yes, but very personable and outgoing. She could also take a joke. I added the statements that she did not talk to us for a while, which is true, but only for a day or so. Oh there a lots I could tell. Sally just happened to be the brunt of some of my best and most prolific. The reason she took it so good is I can be known to pull the wool over someone's eyes from time to time. It is just a matter of time before you Meatservo, are my target. :bigscared: And if you are, it is a SILLY HARMLESS PRANK.

Love it! I'm thinking windshield wipers instead though.

In retrospect I'm really glad they didn't do that. Would have been a week later the first time it rained and I would have flipped on the wipers probably at 2 am on my way to a medevac...driving down the street...HONK...HONK...HONK! It was confusing enough when I pushed the brake to back up and I heard someone honking at me. :)

Not aviation related, but when I worked at Starbucks I would get the newbies to take the 4 gallon pitcher and have them "empty" the hot water-after about 20 minutes of trying to get all the hot water out of the tap, we would usually stop them and tell them to get some real work done.

Or my personal fav-the espresso brownie. The grinds from the espresso machine were packed into tight pucks about an inch or so in diameter and dischared into a drawer that could be pulled out and dumped out. I would take some of the pucks that had not crumbled, put a dabble of whipped cream and some chocolate drizzle on top and serve to friends. Bon appetite!
