To RUN,

Has anyone in your squadron pulled a silly (funny) prank on you? If so what did you do to get your own back?

No, it was more during pilot training that the instructors thought it was funny to do that. I have a couple of examples that didn't happen to mee ;-)

1. Before you stepped to the jet you had to test your microfone in the mask by plugging the wire to a box & press a button. Some instructors told their students that they had to make a request for the crewbus, which took you to the line, when talking into the box. This ofcourse wasn't true, but several students called for the crewbus when they were testing their mikes(Some even did it for weeks).

2. On the first flights some instructors made their students believe that you could fly the jet by moving the body. They lifted their arms up and leaned to the side & the jet turned. Ofcourse they were moving the stick with their legs, but some students believed it.

3. Another instructor made his students yell in the intake & the instructor would then listen at the tail to see if he could hear the yelling. If he could the jet was ok.

Hi RUN,

Thanks for that, I was having a bad day until I read the above message. I laughed so much when I read about all the jokes I almost spat my drink out all over the computer. It would be great to hear if you knew any more stories like this.

Thanks

The student has to blow the pitot tube while the instructor checks in the cockpit if the airspeed indicator moves.

Thanks RUN

Ok, just one more ;o)

There is a little metal piece that connects the oxygen hose from the mask to the hose in the aircraft. You normally have this piece attached to the oxygen hose from the mask. One of my friends instructors stole this little piece from my friend when he wasn't paying attention.
All strapped into the jet the student complained to the instructor that he couldn't find it & the instructor asked him if he hadn't brought his spare. This made the student even more confused since he hadn't heard of a spare. The instructor then said, well you can use mine (and handed the student the stolen piece). After the flight the instructor told the student to go to life support and ask for a spare, which ofcourse brought a lot of laugh to the life support people.

RUN, these stories they are so funny I cant believe they got away with playing so many jokes. You should make this another part of the web site or another catagory of the Forum. I'm sure as more people visit they will be able to tell more stories and add a bit more fun to the site

Fantastic! Thanks
