tell about your most butthole puckering incident.
This one time, I was riding as safety pilot for a guy I went to high school with, I was not yet an instructor and my buddy was a freshly minted private pilot (how he passed his checkride boggles the mind).
He had just done a stop-and-go, when on upwind the tower asked us to turn an early right crosswind for traffic. My buddy yanks and banks left... directly into the traffic.
I learned the meaning of multitasking that evening. I simultaneously grasped the control yolk, called "My controls" and ate my own underwear but with my rectum instead of my mouth.
The traffic was a sheriff's helicopter who had just lifted off from their pad, and I'm pretty sure the deputy flying the helicopter could see into our cockpit because he keyed up and says "Hey, You boys be more careful" as if he saw the two of us
After we landed I asked my buddy why he had pulled the whole fighter pilot move with the turn in the wrong direction, his response "well I couldn't see the traffic, so I wanted to turn as fast as I could to avoid him"
We're still friends. He's an engineer for Lockheed Martin now even tho he doesn't know his right from his left.
