January 9, 20214 yr Brit oops! But this was the best bit! p.s. The backstory... "On Tuesday, a Chinook from 28 Squadron based at RAF Benson made a precautionary landing in a field near Wantage following a mechanical issue. Unfortunately, the aircraft soon sank into the field, likely due to the extended period of wet weather that we’ve been experiencing recently. Our engineers deployed to the site to assess the mechanical issue and this has now been fixed; however, the extremely soft ground has made the recovery of the Chinook to RAF Benson very difficult. A tri-Service team of specialists is working hard to safely extract the aircraft from the mud. While it was hoped that it could simply be dug out and then flown home, the risk of damage to the aircraft from this course of action has been assessed as significant and alternative options are being explored, including potentially lifting it from the mud with a crane. We hope to have the aircraft home by the end of the week. We are extremely thankful to the landowners for their understanding and support during this work, particularly the kindness they’ve shown to our team guarding the aircraft during some very cold nights."
January 9, 20214 yr If that isn’t the epitome of British humour, I don’t know what is. Edited January 9, 20214 yr by FUSEPLUG Forgot the second U in humor.
January 9, 20214 yr I had this happen to me in a Cessna 182 at Willy Post. The airport unstuck me with a couple of large airbags.

Or, if you’ve had too many toxic commanders, you do this knowing you'll be Q3'd (for failure to chock a parked aircraft) faster than you can process what happened on that hasty LZ analysis you just executed...

January 10, 20214 yr On 1/7/2021 at 7:03 PM, DuckHunter said: That’s pretty funny. Anybody know the backstory? It's a parody of the Cal Worthington used car commercials in the 1960's and 1970's in the Los Angeles area. I lived in SoCal for 3 years as a kid, and those commercials were ubiquitous. That video was from the old March AFB F-4 Guard unit, and they were right in the middle of "Worthington Country". Do a Youtube search, watch a "Cal Worthington and his dog Spot" commericial, and you'll see what I'm talking about. After you watch a couple, you'll realize the pilot that did that parody was pretty spot on! Here's one: What I never knew until about 10 years ago was that Cal Worthington was a B-17 pilot in WWII. After the war, he wanted to be a professional pilot but couldn't make it happen. He died about 7 years ago in a town not far from Beale AFB. He owned a gorgeous old Learjet, and when it was sold, I almost took a job flying it. The inside had pretty much zero avionics upgrades but it was immaculate. I saw it on the ramp at my local non-towered airport (KLHM) 3 months ago. Cal was apparently quite a nice guy, and a great American. Edited January 10, 20214 yr by HuggyU2
January 10, 20214 yr That is the Terre Haute, Indiana guard unit. The 181st FW. Great unit that lost its F-16s during the Brac of 2005. Now a non flying wing with a bunch of odd missions.

I guess if I actually paid attention to the first 10" I would have figured it out. Thanks. As for Guns, that was a shame. He was on the fast-track to four stars.

Sounds like she started it, pursued it, caused all the conduct that was prejudicial to good order and discipline, but he lost 2 stars and given paperwork and forced to retire. I’m sure I’m just a misogynist, but if she didn’t receive a similar punishment as an AF officer, that’s BS.

I remember his commercials well. When I was a kid, my dad actually bought a car from one of his dealerships. Cal actually happened to be on the property at the time and stopped by to shake hands after the deal was done. I remember being disappointed that he wasn’t nearly as animated in real life as he was in his commercials.
