And whenever we are talking about military in the peace time, there is always systematic abuse between different branches of services due to the one's assumed rank. Here's an example of that. Based on my family name (same family name but completely unrelated), I could have done a similar trick by playing a superior officer during my military service and ordering an inspection of a rifle company at 0400 at night. The thought had its appeal, but I elected not to, on suspicion of getting Trouble for that.

And then there is And There Were None, a story that defies belief, which in overall has to be one of saddest the most warning stories of the importance of the aviation safety.
Relaxed movement is always more effective than forced movement.

the seven-engine landing one reminded me of a joke i've read somewhere before.  i don't have the exact text, but here's the gist of it.

An f-16 was escorting a cargo transport on a long flight.  The cocky fighter jock got bored and found something to pass the time.  He got on the radio and started to pick a fight with the transport pilots about which was better.  "Anything you can do I can do better" the fighter pilot challenged.  He then proceeded to show off a bunch of loops and rolls.  The transport continued on straight and steady.  "Ok, beat that" the transport pilot said."  "What did you do?" the fighter pilot asked. 

"Shut down two engines."

Funnier if you watch the whole ep.
