I'm afeared so, mon ami, I'm afeared SO... Which is why everything I fly must have at least TWO engines!

This is no joke! I love his reaction at the end.

That is one lucky mo-fo...and yet ANOTHER argument against single-engine aircraft in "recreational" aviation. Still, both pilot AND passenger displayed some seriously large balls 'o steel to complement the left-seater's obviously superior flying skills...

(The SAD thing here is that, in 99% of cases like this, the owner had some sort of on-the-tarmac warning that there was something afoul with his/her aircraft -- be it a "chuffing" noise they'd never heard before, or some sort of timing count that was suddenly WAY off TDC, or a ground-stall of the engine, even a "funny" smell to the fuel -- and yet he/she chooses to ignore it and continue flying the plane. In the end, a mid-air engine stall-out such as the one in the film clip did not come as much of a surprise as one might think to these practitioners of the religion of "deferred aircraft maintenance." Dumb brassards that they are... :shock:
