I must be getting old. I keep telling the same old stories.
.....
A seasoned pilot is training an over-eager new rookie co-pilot and lets him take the controls for the final approach.
Pilot: "It's all yours. Remember your training, sound off and bring it in nice and smooth."
Co pilot: "Roger that. All clear. No wind. Bringing it down to 500'"
Pilot: "Um, doesn't the runway look a little short to you?"
Co pilot: "Roger that. Flaps to 15deg, throttle down to 2500rpm, descending to 200'."
Pilot: "Umm... You should really reconsider..."
Co pilot: "Roger. Flaps to 25deg, throttle to 1500rpm, descending to 50'."
Pilot: "There's no way we're gonna make it! Abort!"
Co pilot: "Negative! I've got this! Flaps to 45deg! Throttle off! Nose up!"
Pilot: "You idiot! Were gonna die!"
Somehow the co-pilot pulls off a perfect stall-landing and the plane only rolls a few feet before coming to a complete stop at the far edge of the tarmac. They sit there in shock for a minute as they review their lives which have just flashed before their eyes.
Co pilot: "That is the shortest runway I've ever seen!"
Pilot; "Yea, but it sure is wide."
