Tried to get a box of Gold Fish (The Snacks) back from this kid that stole them from me, but, do I really want them back, who knows what he did to them. Shocked Evil or Very Mad

Accually, no, that wasn't too much of a problem, on one of my flight lessons my flight instructor told me to turn right, and I wasn't paying any attention and I turned left, dosn't sound to stupid, but yoou don't want your flight instructor thinking that your stupid.

In the Sim: Is was on VATSIM and I was trying to call ground control, I kept calling and calling, then I discovered that my mike wasn't plugged in.

I'm not a bad pilot, I just like experimenting a little.

I'm sorry to say, that one time me and my friend got high and neither of us could see, so we had a contest to see who could walk the farthest without hitting something. So I banged into a pole and ended up with a bloody nose, but it was incredibly funny all the while.

Kids, NEVER do what FEM did. Shocked

Do you mean on Sim or in real life? Confused

In sim:
I did a touch and go in a 737 and when I was taking off, I forgot to retract spoilers so I stalled and couldn't figure out why.

In real life:
When I was in second grade, me and my friend decided to do an experiement with our science books. Laughing We wanted to see if they would float or sink. They floated for a few seconds but then they sunk. We were suprised when we couldn't read or turn the pages. Laughing

Ha, wow, this off-topic forum just keeps getting further and further off topic! Very Happy

In the sims: I think the most recent was during a Cheers to Friday event with ATAvirtual one night (on VATSIM), cruising at about FL380, everyone else around FL360 or FL340 and fairly well sequenced on departure. I looked at my TCAS display and saw a plane about 10 miles out at my 4 ocklock, then 3 ocklock, then 2 ocklock, and still passing me! I thought no way, how could the ATA guys have caught up? I'm cruising at .82 mach!! So I did an external view to get a good look at the plane passing me when lo and behold my gear was down!!! Lord only knows how long that was down for! I went back into the cockpit and notice my speed was practically at the stall point! I certainly felt pretty dumb right there.

In life: Umm... There's a time and place for everything, and that's college Wink

When I was about 7, I was playing a junior version of basketball called 'Miniball', when a teamate passed the ball to me and I headed for the goal to shoot. Approaching the goal I wondered why one one was coming after me, then I realised that is was at the opposition teams goal Embarassed.

I scored the goal though!!
Very Happy

THE DUMBEST THING IVE EVER DONE.....


I would say it would be jumping off my roof into my pool...... I missed by 3 ft. and i broke a leg an arm and got a pretty good concusion. I did this when i was 10 im now 13.





my grandfather was cutting carrots with a butcher knife...(i dont know why though) but anyway he dropped the knife and cut off 2 toes and a half the half was never found. this is a true story.
