Little Accidents (poll)

[201er]

Since this forum is out of storage and we can’t post fun airplane photos or diagrams any more, we’ll just have to make do with these stupid polls. At least until they start charging us for them too!

Ever had an accidental #1, #2, or #3 in your plane? You or passenger? Pretty sure anything but #1 is always accidental. Unless maybe flying transoceanic and planning on it.

I guess Mooneyspace knows about that overly exciting flight and won’t let you get away with covering it up

Come on now. Let’s hear those stories. We’ve all heard about @jetdriven peeing in a film canister or about the passenger that went #2 in a paper bag! I’m sure if you fly long enough, there’s at least one little accident that occurred on your watch!

As a recent parent, are you including diaper incidents in this list?  Tip for you, copilot seat back, when folded forward, can be a changing table.

Three puke accidents in 25 years. Only one of them was really funny.

Took my wife's cousin flying on a warm, bouncy afternoon in central WV. She wanted pictures of places / things on the ground and ignored our warning. After about 20 minutes peering through her telephoto lens, she was turning green. We almost made it back to the airport . . .

Made a quick straight-in landing over the cliff (4G7) while she was busy losing lunch down her shirt and mopping up with my backseat towel. The Piper waiting to depart didn't comment about my straight in past him.

On landing, cousin went straight to the FBO bathroom to clean up. Nothing on my seats! Only had to dispose of the little foam microphone cover on a passenger headset. She washed her shirt in the sink and dried it using the wall-mounted hand drier.

Haven't got her in the plane since then!

Are animals passengers?  If so….

But they were my kids and they were 2.  We changed my daughter’s dirty diaper across our laps in the front seat on a 500nm xc.  Definitely thought about throwing it out the storm window but didn’t.  Oregon is desolate.

Had both kids and my wife puke once on a bumpy ride into Reno.  That required a text to my dad to meet us at the airport with a decontamination team and lots of hefty bags.

No Mooney issues (not enough time in them, yet).

I do fly for CAP and have had a couple of Cadets puke during orientation flights.

I was coming back from KFTY in a GA-7 and was going non-stop on a IFR flight plan, when the passenger REALLY had to pee.  So I asked the controller for amendment to stop into KLYH for a "physiological emergency."  There was a pause, then he asked, "A WHAT?" then figured it out and busted out laughing on the air.  He could barely control laughing enough to give me my clearance to KLYH.

I had a lady once on the way back from $100 hamburger….she emptied the contents of the hamburger lunch into her $500 Kate spade purse

What are they charging for now?

Not a Mooney, but a guy named Jeremy, I’ll leave his last name off, but he was a Maule dealer forever, he was delivering a Maule to Europe over the Atlantic and ate Mexican food before he left, well several hours after leaving the Mexican food wanted out and wasn’t solid matter, he looked around and all he had was bread in a plastic bag to make sandwiches, he dumped the bread out and proceeded to fill the bag with mud. He was so proud of not making a mess. The whole window of a Maule opens, so he opened the window and threw the bag out. Rest of the flight was uneventful.

Upon arriving the new owner was waiting to receive his new airplane. Jeremy noticed as he got out that one side of the aircraft was covered in sh**. He had some explaining to do.

Next sh** story,

1988 in Ft hood Tx. 3/6 Cav, we would run day out / night back battle drills. One of our requirements for night battle drill was in the preceding 24 hours we had conducted a wire hazards flight, so to cover that we would run a battle drill in the day, usually fly to San Angelo and go out to eat, then run a battle drill at night.

Well one time one of the troop commanders had an inflight emergency, being helicopters the entire troop (6 aircraft max) landed and the Capt ran out and took care of business. We wore one piece flight suits, so to go, meant you took the top half off and dropped it to your waist. Well the Capt apparently in his haste didn’t drop his suit enough and went in the collar area, upon standing hurriedly putting his flight suit back on had the expelled mass hit him in the back of his head. He had to of course put on his helmet and fly the battle drill in that condition. But it gets better.  

You never head to the back of a helicopter, the tail rotor is back there so he headed out in front of course. The Apache has the Target Acquisition system on its nose, it’s a very good FLIR system, and has a TEAC tape recorder, Poo is at body temp and shows up very well in FLIR and whoever was watching taped the whole event.

3/4” tape, 875 lines of resolution, very clear picture.

Well we had a Dining Out coming up, and the first the Capt new it had been taped was when he watched the whole thing during the Dining Out, with all the Wives in attendance. He took it well tough, he knew if he didn’t it would get worse.

Dining ins were formal affairs with receiving lines etc, Dining Outs were sort of formal drinking events, think frat party, practical jokes were common.

At least mine made it out of the airplane.

Although they’ve certainly gone up in price, I never fly without them:

Neighbor was flying his J-3 cub down to San Antonio in the summer and it was hot so he climbed to 10,000ft to cool off. When he finally got up there he had to pee and forgot a pee bottle. Not wanting to descend back down nor would he make it before he had to go, so he loosen his seatbelt all the way and dropped the side door open so he could stick his pecker out  into the slipstream and pee. Took him a few moments to relax enough especially with the cold air, but when he finally started going to his horror his pee whipped around and splashed him right in the face.

He has to get the door JUST right.

 

Gordon Baxter wrote a column one time about being able to crack the door of a car at speed and peeing out the crack. And the airflow taking it out and away.

Good tip. I bet he wished he knew that then!

Been years ago I read an Air Force accident report, somehow an F-16 driver managed to eject himself using the pee bag

Maybe this is it, but it’s behind a paywall.

Wanna guess how much money is being spent on a female system?

Female cave divers use a She-P, I believe they have to be shaved, and glue it on. Guys just used a Condom Cathether.

I kept telling the Wife I’m going to do the Condom cath thing so I don’t have to get up in the middle of the night, she’s not amused.

Morning after a Dierks Bentley concert I took wife and kids to breakfast up near 42B.  I didn’t drink at the concert but my wife did… I tried to convince her to stay home but she really wanted this breakfast.  At first she fell asleep right after takeoff, but 20 minutes in she straightens right up and looked like she was blowing on a trumpet…

Here Honey… here’s my jacket… 

BUT!  She said the breakfast was worth it!
