I reckon you've got to be at least half-crazy to be a test pilot

Definitely!

"We want you to take up this plane which has never flown before....we have done the numbers, and it *should* fly, but lets see, yeah?"

35 degree banked turn with an engine problem at Mach 3+ is just a bit beyond normal protocol. I guess all commens now are in hindsight, but what else did they expect?

I liked the bit about the pilot ejected warning light though, that's fabulous

Oh, that's bad. Everyone makes mistakes, but that's very lose your job bad.

It can be really disorienting at night, especially in a new environment, and landing on the wrong runway isn't uncommon, but I've never seen this.

Also, you'll never nor if you don't get your act together, Legs
