I AM IN MOURNING FOR MY CAT

[U S Army EOD]

I have a small LSA airplane that is kind of weak on instruments. One thing I do not have is an attitude indicator so when I am in a cloud or fog, I do not know if I am in a bank, a dive, or a climb. Some of my "friends" and experienced aviators suggested I carry one of my cats with me. I was told to fly with my left hand on the yoke and toss the cat up and down with my right hand. As we all know, cats always land on their feet. I was told to observe which way the cats legs were pointing and then roll or pitch the aircrafte in that direction.

I have an open cockpit, plus I have a pusher prop. Looking back on the event, I guess I should have tied the cat to my leg or been a little bit better judge of how high I was tossing the cat each time.

On the bright side, I was planning to paint my tail section red anyway.

I like a heartwarming story. You probably figured out
which was was down, then...?

I will always wonder if the cat really knew. Poor, poor, Fluffy.

Thank god you didn't blow it up with a little C4.

I mean that's what you're really good at.
Right?

...hilarious.

Hang a plumb bob from something.. it always points DOWN.. and leans to the left or right...

[U S Army EOD]

Hang it from the cat (I have more cats) or the airplane?

[murdoog]

What a CATastrophe

[xp38]

I don’t think certain young feline Scandanavian Marauders are amused.

[U S Army EOD]

I can’t understand why this hasn’t hit the “Kitty Ping” list.

[MHGinTN]

To think I thought this was serious when first I clicked on it!... BTW, did you remove the claws before taking the cat into the cockpit? They do tend to grab onto things ...

[U S Army EOD]

This incident sort of removed everything. But, I did notice some very long scratch marks on the prop. But I can sand it down.

Uh, I hate to tell you, but that is not exactly what the cat looked like on its way to the ground.
