Two that come to mind:
about 20 or so mins after our planned departure time, "I'd like to welcome everyone aboard flight blah, blah blah, I'm embarassed to say I've forgotten the keys to the plane at home... but don't worry, I've called my wife and she's on the way with them. We should be towed out in 10 to 15 mins"
Flying into Kennedy Intl to make a connection for Rio. As we're about 300 to 100 or so feet from touchdown we get hit with a hefty crosswind. The pilot purposely throws the plane onto the runway. Hardest landing I've had. He comes on and says "sorry ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid I can't take credit for that landing, it will have to go to the crosswind" As, I walk past him on the way out, I told him "I didn't see any crosswinds" to which he replies, "well that's the thing isn't it" and we all LOL...

PM me if you have any questions. My roommate just selected Tailhook out of Primary, he goes to Meridian, MS for Jet Advanced training next Friday. I'm still kinda torn, but looking towards Helicopters for a platform.

HAHAHA you have no idea how funny that is, being a Naval Academy grad (as was my roommate, and everyone who selected tailhook this week. 4 grads from the class of 08 selected this week, all four got jets.) But, it's really most people in the program. My buddy, who was not an Academy grad, graduated Primary with an 80 NSS. Which means, his actual grade was higher than the Navy will record. It's like scoring above a 1600 on the SAT, it's unreal. And your best bet, if not in ROTC already, is OCS. It's very, very hard to pick up a commission as an enlisted guy despite what the recruiter will tell you. Not impossible, but difficult. There's some guys here with thousands of flight hours, and a bunch with dads, family, etc. in Naval Aviation and it's really in their blood.
