Outlanding stories

I'm surprised they didn't ask for your driver's license - I found it to
be SOP for aircraft incidents.

One of my favorites was in my 1-26 I touched down and came to a stop
just in a field just across the road from a convienence store. Got out
walked across the street and bought myselft a sandwich and a pop to
enjoy while I wanted for my trailer to show up. I had been parked in
the feild for about 45 minutes when an police car showed up. The office
got out and asked me if I was the pilot and if anyone was hurt. After
telling him I was the pilot and there were no injuries he went back to
his car and radioed to cancel the Fire engines and Ambulance, Which
showed up about 3 minutes later anyway because they wanted to see what
was going on. After explaining to them that I had just made a normal
landing and waiting for my crew they all went back to there vehicals to
figure out how to write their reports about responding to guy eating
lunch while sitting in a field with a glider

That reminds me of a 1-26 story I read once about a father son team
that were doing a cross country in a 1-26. The son was flying the 1-26
and the father was following along with the trailer. The son got low
near an airport and ended up landing there. He announced that he was
going to land on the taxiway. As he turned final the unicom operator
came on an told him that landing on the taxiway was not authorized. He
told them it was to late since he was on short final. As he came to a
stop a sheriff's car pulled up and and asked him for his drivers
license. The boy explained that he was not old enough to have a driver
license and that all he had was his pilots license.
