alan2 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Nice pics from a guy who is obviously a gentleman - "oh dear my engine has failed" is not the way most blokes I know would express themselves in that situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim_A Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Nice pics from a guy who is obviously a gentleman - "oh dear my engine has failed" is not the way most blokes I know would express themselves in that situation Hard to do "obvious irony in the voice" when you write it down - I tried putting in first caps, but I guess it didn't work too well. Imagine something more along the lines of: <He pulls back the throttle to idle> "Oh dear my engine has failed", he said, with obvious irony, and just in case anyone official was listening. "I will *have* to land..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim_A Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Actually, I pulled the throttle from the overhead at 4000ft, so it was a long circling glide all the way down. There was one point as I was turning final (just after that penultimate shot was taken), that I thought I might not make it. Now that *would* have been embarrassing!! Oh, and it's a Citabria -- I like having flaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
