"C'mon Man......"

[reality check]

Just watching the Monday Nighter and I thought the pre-game "C'mon Man" piece could be borrowed for our industry.

So, just out of interest, tell us about witnessing your biggest "C'mon Man" moment over the years:

I remember taxing past a flight school some years ago and seeing a 172 moving off their ramp onto the taxiway with BOTH tie-down blocks in tow. C'mon Man!

In university - failing a class because i needed 50% on the final and i got 49% on the final (with 50%, i would've passed). On one question I got 1/20. I argued that there was sufficient knowledge demonstrated in the answer that warranted at least 2/20. He didn't budge. C'MON MAN!

Years ago, I stopped a Cessna 172 on Kilo taxiway at YYZ towing a brick, the best however was a US registered C310 that just landed, surrounded by 5 RCMP's.

He'd never really heard of Toronto - he was from Chicago - and was quite surprised to see all the jetliners - had he known he would have used his radio - instead of just showing up and landing!!

Then again, there was the Skycharter fuel truck driving airside to fuel a Pemair at Terminal One.
The driver didn't have a radio license - and didn't want to go, but was told it would be easy.

Just call up the tower and do what they say.

He got the turn left on Juliet, however - he didn't know what hold short of '14' meant - so he kept driving until he saw a great big 1 4 written on the ground - and parked right on it.

Next he heard was the roar of an Air Canada B727 aborting a landing - as there was a fuel truck sitting on the button.

All hell broke loose and needles to say, Skychater had to use Airport Road to get to the terminal after that!!!

"Hey Jim, she sure needs a lot of power today, eh."
"Nah, you just need to stop eating too much."

Departing Kingston in a 152 for Toronto and unintentionally landing (without calling) in Rochester...

C'mon man!

Working myself up into a sweating, cursing mess trying to prop start an Aeronca that just won't go. Chilly morning, non-impulse mags, much less compression than one would hope for. I had to have been at it for a solid fifteen minutes trying every combination priming, flood clearing and curse words I could think of. Finally get some life out of the nearly-expired Continental, hop in and see the oil pressure steady at zero.

C'mon man!

Just finished loading a patient in my Be20 in God's Lake or somewhere and a metro swung in front of me so close I couldn't pull out. C'Mon Man! I put'er into reverse and showered his passengers with snow. Take that!

Toronto Airwayz:

Re-filling the fuel-truck @ buttonville with the safety shut-off switch disengaged; so the fuel truck is filled faster. Then, climbing on top of the truck to visually ascertain when the truck is full, and then quickly running down to turn off the flow of fuel...

Except: You fall off the truck, knocking yourself unconscious and the fuel continues to flow into and out of the truck. And, all of a sudden there's an 80'000 litre pond of jet fuel, that doesn't show up in the CFS.

C'mon Man!

Or the Sifton variant: C'MON MAN!

or the D.R. variant (crescendo) no NO NO!

You're holding outside of the CZ waiting to get a SVFR because of other IFR traffic, It's busy, wx getting really crappy and fuel keeps burning... When the traffic slows down, you think you're getting lucky when:

XX Radio, XXX Medevac ready to taxi IFR to XXX.
XXX Medevac, XX Radio blah blah blah, do you request medevac priority there is a traffic that's been waiting for a while to get a SVFR.
XX Radio, Affirmative and we`ll take a delay on the runway.


C`mon Man......!!!

Was working the ramp at a popular FBO in YYC. Cold as hell day. Open the Hangar to restack it. We have a hangar queen sitting in the corner, hasn't moved for weeks. Pilot is walking around the aircraft tinkering and doing stuff. Now this is not unusual as we see the pilot quite often around the airplane. So we dump and restack the hangar, close the doors. Just as the doors close the pilot come up to me and says he would like to go flying.

C' MON MAN.

It was a very busy day in CYBC, circa July 2005. Fire detection that summer was crazy. We flew about 275 hrs in 6 months in our 182's, a very good season all in all.

That particular day, we had 3 patrols to do and not a lot of time between patrols. We had to hurry on the ground to make the turn as quick as possible. Walk arounds were done quite fast.

After refueling, one of my colleagues took off with the tow bar still attached to the nosewheel. By some streak of luck, one of the Air Satellite pilots who was taxiing saw the epic takeoff and called Mont-Joli Radio just before the gear up sequence.

He came back and landed safely. The tow bar, (and the pilot's ego) were a bit scratched, as you can imagine.

For the rest of the summer we referred to him as ''Tow Bar''.
