welcome back, guess you didn't have any unexpected landings huh, have you heard the one about the bush pilot and the two hickory nuts?
the pilot drops the two hunters off and tells them he'd be back in a week.
during that week they shoot 4 moose, 2 grizzlys and shitload of smaller creatures.
the pilot returns after a week and sees the amount of meat and skins, and tells the hunters that there was no way his little plane could carry that amount of weight, that they'd have to wait for another plane to get them, but the hunters begin to argue that they had shot the same amount of animals the year before and the plane that hauled them out was the same size and kind as the pilots and how that dude musta been a better pilot than him.
so pride gets the better of the pilot and against his common sence he loads everything up.
so everybodys strappped in and the pilot says a lengthy prayer, he red lines the engine and hits it, the little plane is shuddering and everything is rattling but she begins to pick up speed, faster and faster it goes down the little strip and finally begins to hop in the air more and more and pilot begins to ease up cause their almost airborne, then the little plane leaves the ground and begins to gain altitiude, the pilots estatic at his luck, then it happens, the overrevved engine seizes and they crash.
the plane has only made it a half mile from the camp, all three climb outta the wreckage and are amazed that they are still alive.
the pilot then begins to rant and rave at the hunters, saying to them that they told him that last year they were flown out by the same type plane and it carried them safely to their destination with no problems, and then one of the hunters replies " yeah, same type plane and all, then he looks from the wreckage back to the camp and says huh, carried us bout as far too, had to have a bigger plane carry us from here though."
