how'd this punk get a certificate?

Pilot's emergency landing at Rockaways Beach faces investigation over suspicious circumstances | Mail Online

listening to the ATC audio really paints the picture well. The controller did a good job handling this punk.

I grew up a couple of blocks away from Rockaway Beach, that knucklehead is lucky the Police got to him first.

I bet those two passengers he was carrying didn't think it was hard or far to reach, and that they could hitch a ride to Rockaway beach.

Dipping into poetry a bit, J? Let's go with that...

His friends, they called him Jase the Ace,
he dreamed of flying into space,
But single-engine planes are dreary,
"Hey, tower, I've got a crazy query!
I want to land upon the sand,
But have no fear, we'll chill right here."
The tower said "No, remain aloft"
"But dude, I might wish to stay lost"
And that's where things got weirder faster,
with missionary doctor pastor.
Then claims of engine trouble came,
is this for real, or some strange game?
But then, as sweetly as a peach,
he set it down upon the beach.
Well, 'sweet' might be too optimistic,
a better word would be 'ballistic'.
He dumped it in the ocean spray,
One friend jumped out and ran away.
His lady friend the tale debunks,
by heaving to, and blowing chunks.
Young Jase has yet to be berated,
or shown to be intoxicated,
But I suspect this tale's not done,
For Rockaway's once-favorite son.

I guess in this case it`s not a DUI but an FUI ;)

I could have sworn I posted this, I guess I just emailed it to someone. It's absolutely nuts. That guy needs to have his certificate pulled. He says he got the idea from "Flying WIld Alaska".

What a damned jack ass. Being a pilot, things like this really piss me off.

Every time I hear that ATC transmission it makes me cringe. I was surprised at the controller's patience.

Am I the only one LOL'ing at PMac's 'rap'? LOL

:lol::lol:

You sir, are an artist. I truly hope you have a job or a hobby that utilizes your eloquence - I was just quoting a lowly Ramones track, and then you go and do that. :cheekkiss5:

Corrected that :lol:
