Reminds me of a military hop I flew on once. Pilot…“Attention passengers…..we underestimated this head wind we have been flying into…..we are now very low on fuel and may NOT make the nearest airbase. The crew will assist you with the necessary gear for ditching in the water.”We did make it to land..barely..we lost two engines on approach.Another was watching as a big lift chopper fell out of the sky during a lifting operation….as we watched a mechanic ran out of the hanger yelling “What the hell are they doing……I haven’t finished working on it!!!”Found laying on the floor where the chopper was parked a sign saying “Not Flight Ready”
