"Did I ever tell you I learnt to fly under the instruction of that famous 'Bud Holland'?", said Cappy, as he just missed the top of the Tower with the undercarriage by less than a metre, and laughed maniacally as he saw the ATC staff desperately throwing themselves to the floor, convinced the Jab was coming through their viewing windows. "Haaaa! Haaaaa!! Haaaaaa!!", Cappy was screaming, as the Jab bounced around the sky, doing 90° banks, loops until the engine cut out, and then only restarting at 150', frightening the assorted flocks of sleeping 'roos, panicking them into rushing the airport perimeter fence, and knocking it flat! "Ooooohh!", said Cappy, "We could get into trouble here, with that perimeter fence damage! They'll be looking for someone to blame! Let's hightail it out of here!!" "But Turbo couldn't respond, he was too busy emptying the remnants of his $700 burger out the side window, and .......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, there's a coronavirus on the rampage, and there's always the possibility someone could sneeze at Tyabb, and the authorities will put the place into lockdown, and place everyone there into Quarantine, and they will need this amount of toilet paper to survive!"

Onetrack, being made of sterner stuff than the weak East Coasters, having come from a long life of ancestors who fought off everything from Vikings to the Black Plague, was dismissive of the coronavirus. "Ahhh, it's just all fake news", he said. "Overblown media hype designed to sell newspapers. Haven't they heard the old ditty, 'We're tough, mighty tough in the West, where we wear neither singlet nor vest!'? We take viruses, waves of illegal immigrants, foreign pilots, and hundreds of invasive species, in our stride!" "Incidentally, Mustafa, do you happen to have an Australian visa? They'll probably want to see it, when we land at Wagga International, you know how the Cockroaches are touchy about more Middle Easterners in their midst!

A Ring on Fire, once airborne, was a particularly difficult thing to manage, and really tested crew resources. But Mustafa was itching (literally) to go. "When are we taking off (avref), OT?
