This aviation legend spills absurd tales of trapped fuel emergencies, French test pilot school spins that nearly pancaked a Casa 212, and why the 777 feels like it reads your mind better than your spouse. Dive into pilot stories that make you question every career choice while laughing your ass off at near-death absurdities only a true sky god survives.
