My real life experience. 2000ft in tow behind an aircraft my 2nd glider flight I was feeling a bit queasy from the first flight as it was bumpy up there.
"Sir I feel sick!"
"You what"
Ya know one of those moments where you really wished you had brought a sick bag and forgot it. This was one of those. Where to pit the vomit....only one place so I unzipped my flying overalls and put it there. Glider was a Blanik tandem 2 seat and I'm in the front seat.
Instructor "aw s**t"
I think it took all of less than 60seconds for him to execute an overhead approach pop the canopy and before the glider stopped rolling he was outta there
My 2nd real life experience finals with a Piper Tomahawk at Omaka a gust of wind knocks me off course and aiming instead of at the strip at a fence.
Me "doh, this doesn't look good"
Instructor" well go around again"
So I open the throttle, and dumped the flaps now we are flying 30ft over the strip.
Instructor "not a good idea to dump those flaps, hey why aren't we climbing!"
Now what have I done here(instructor knows hes just observing now lol), I recheck, doh carb heats still on.
Finally we start climbing and fly in between the trees at the end of the runway strip. Later on the ground a pilot who observed my botched landing told me " any landing ya walk away from is a good landing"
As for online embarassment for me it was while I was trainning a new pilot for my Squadron who was an ex-Air Force Fighter pilot using F4AF. I took him for his assessment flights prior to his graduation flight with the CTO. Every landing I damaged my F-16.
. There have been other times where on the ground in lockon I landed with my Nav lights off and my wingman crashed into me. And other times where I crashed and fouled the runway so other players had to use the taxiway to land or take off.
) and the next thing I knew I had the crashed sign.
