August 20, 20205 yr Nothing much going on so tabloid media reports on a pilot removing some of his attire whilst on a flight. Say this in your best Valley Girl accent "Like OMG.. sooo disgusting..totally...eww.. He needs to be fired, like, right now!" https://www.express.co.uk/travel/articles/1324290/flights-pilot-removes-shoes-viral-video-instagram-funny-disgusting Big deal... the pilot removed his shoes and socks. Wait for it.. he works for Nordic SEAPLANES .. Plenty of sea or floatplane pilots go barefoot, especially in warmer climes... This young lady does... and I bet there would not have been half as many complaints or wannabee lynch mob comments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLHYDIEH6cw Anyone would have thought that the Nordic Seaplanes pilot had whipped off his shorts and let the guys dangle free!! He didn't have his feet on the rudder pedals either! Oh My Days!! Let's review: he's flying a twin-engined DeHavilland of some kind - a Twin Otter then.. Twin Otters have autopilots I believe. Not to mention the guy has a colleague in the right hand seat (you can see his shirt sleeve). ...so either the co-pilot or the autopilot might just be flying the plane at the time the video was taken! Speaking of flying barefoot, this lady is phenomenal IMHO - licensed pilot with no arms! Good for her that the Ercoupe was invented, I'm not sure if a plane with rudder pedals could be adapted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2IqpPSF9-U Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.
