Sneaky snake

Featured Replies

"An Australian pilot said he was forced to make a harrowing landing reminiscent of a Hollywood thriller after a snake popped out from behind his dashboard and slithered across his leg during a solo cargo flight."

"As the plane was landing, the snake was crawling down my leg, which was frightening," he told Nine.

Nerves of steel to handle that one. But he had no choice really.

Yeah. It turned out to be harmless, but you don't ignore snakes in Australia (home of the world's ten most poisonous ones :Shocked:)

With my luck it would have been a Black Mamba like the one from Kill Bill v2

Iuring the Berlin Airlift in 1948 some aircraft were infested by rats brought on board in flour. I believe in some cases the rats couldn't be got rid of and the aircraft were scrapped.

 

I attach my favourite animals and arcraft picture. Who's going to open the door?

That must be the absolute last thing to expect on an airplane. I think the shock alone would be scary enough.

 

Well done to the pilot for keeping his cool.

Snake in the cockpit? Well, it's a hell of a lot better than a cock in a snakepit.
