CHAPTER 1
Notso
It was a beautiful, clear day in southern Texas when NOTSOpassed his "Safe for Solo" flight check. He was thrilled tohave passed that important test flight! To his surprise, he wasimmediately asked by his instructor if he would like to go forhis first SOLO flight.... RIGHT NOW! He wasted no time,and immediately responded with a hearty "YES, SIR!"
In what took less than 45 minutes, Second Lieutenant Brightwas taxing out of the chocks, heading for the runway to flyhis first SOLO flight in a jet. He was immediately cleared forTake Off, and spent about 45 minutes just doing anythingthat HE wanted to do! He felt like he was the most "COOL"guy in the Cosmos! He wanted to get some more landingpractice, so he decided to start heading home.
He chose to take just a little more time to simply enjoyhimself, amidst the beautiful weather. He chuckled to himselfwhen it popped into his head that this kind of weather isreferred to by the "Weather Guessers" as CAVU (Clear AndVisibility Unlimited), and he sure did have one that day.
As he scanned his gauges, he noticed that he had a littleextra gas left, so he headed for home to do a few "Touchand Goes." (Meaning: Land, then add power, climb, call theTower for permission, & turn down-wind, until at the 180degree position, where he simultaneously let down andturned toward the runway, and land (for a Full Stop) or doanother "Touch and Go," so as to repeat the cycle, again,depending upon his fuel state.
As he approached the field, he was advised by the ControlTower that a runway change was just beginning (due to a windshift) and the Tower told him to "loiter" and circle at 5,000 feet(AGL), in a left-turn, and wait until they can finish the RunwayChange. He appropriately said, "Roger," complied with hisinstructions, and took his position at the appropriate altitude.After an unusually long time, some other fliers arrived on thescene and joined him in "The Stack" at their appropriatelyassigned altitudes. When he checked his gauges, he noticeda "Red Light" on his fuel gauge, which was his signal that itwas time for him to land—SOON—because he was justabout out of fuel. His pesky little red light was doing its job,by bugging him, and reminding him that it's time to be on theground. He started becoming a bit nervous, so he called theTower, and declared "Low Fuel" (Which was exactly what hewas supposed to do.)
The Tower came back, and asked, "Are you declaring anEmergency?"
Now, I have flown long enough to know that asking a "brandnew" pilot if he/she wants to declare an Emergency, he/sheshould feel OBLIGATED to declare an Emergency becausethat is what he/she is SUPPOSED to do!
This controller, however, got his bowels in an uproar, andmade a "big deal" about it! Well.... So, what do you thinkhappens next?
The young lad was cleared to descend into the patternand was Cleared To Land. He flew a a great pass andflew "The Ball right on "the rails." As he flew over the ramphe was having to "Ease Gun" (pull the throttle back) morethan he ever had to before, and he then touched down onthe centerline of the runway.... and immediately the allHades broke loose!
HIS LANDING GEAR WERE STILL UP AND LOCKED!!
He told me, years later, that he was, "Just along for the ride,after he realized what was happening!"
After being knocked around in the cockpit a bit, andhearing many very loud and foreign sounds, the machinevery ungraciously came to a halt just off the left side of therunway. As he was shutting down and hastily evacuatingfrom his jet (just as he had been taught), he noticed "about ahundred" pieces of what used to be his flying machine.... Itwas spread all over the runway, and out in the weeds, too!
He was out of and away from the jet in record time. Whenthe Crash Crew and a Medical Van arrived at the scene, theyquickly noted the Tower that airplane parts were, ah ...
EVERYWHERE!
Our pilot was put into the Medical Van immediately by theCorpsmen. The Flight Surgeon was waiting for him in thevan, and, as soon as he sat down, he noticed a Sailor lyingin the van with a very bloody bandage wrapped aroundhis head. Well, our hero got a little panicky; because heimmediately thought that he had landed on top of this guy!
What REALLY happened was that, when the "Meat Wagon"hurriedly left the parking lot for the runway with sirens blaring,the Sailor turned out to be a Corpsman who was racing tocatch up with the Meat Wagon, who stumbled and fell on hishead! Although he was bleeding profusely, the Meat Wagonguys pulled him in, and rapidly continued to the crash site.
On their way to the crash site, they discovered that he wasnot as bad as they had originally thought. Captain Bright laterrelated that he thought that he had somehow landed on thisguy on the runway, and injured him, and it worried him a lotmore than landing with his landing gear up!
He also added, "As I was "cooling down, I soon realized thatI now had to put on my "dancing shoes" because I am goingto have a lot more to worry about back in the Squadron."
Our intrepid aviator, still in shock, was immediately taken tothe Flight Surgeon's Dispensary, as required by regulations,although he kept telling them that he was just fine. Whenthey finally released him, he went back to his SquadronReady Room in the ambulance. He knew what was goingto happen next, and he wanted to take his mind off thatthought. A million thoughts were cycling around in his "BrainHousing Group" in an amazingly rapid rate!" Once in theReady Room, everyone was very glad to see him. He was,in one piece, so everyone was thrilled.... EXCEPT ONEPERSON ... the Commanding Officer, who, not so politely"invited" him to his office,...
