LOL... that sucker did own me that day. That was my 3rd and final attempt at rodeo fame. Those bulls really do move quick, very deceptive with their size. It was an experience.

1) Stalls, 2.5G windup turns and -1G pushovers in a 747SP as part of a test program for NASA. We lost $125K worth of access panels that decided to depart the plane over Texas.
2) Very few will understand this one. Pull the curcuit breakers for stick shacker and stick pusher and then do stalls in a Gulfstream III. Having the test pilot tell you "That one almost go away" is not something you ever want to hear.
3) Hands off landings in a various aircraft. Just ride it in and hope for the best.
4) Tell a career Colonel that he is no longer
allowed to fly "my" airplane because he is among the worst pilots I've ever seen. I was 28 running my first flight test program.
5) Landing with blown tires on a Falcon 20. We had a ABS malfunction on takeoff and one tire on each main landing gear strut locked up and burned through. Landing was a bit rough. A video camera on board whited out due to the vibration level.

To qualify this I'm not a pilot. I'm an engineer, I ride in back running a data acquisition system or up front behind the pilots acting as the test coordinator. I have very little control over the surroundings and have to trust the trained monkeys up front. For this I get as a benefit a company paid $100,000 death and dismemberment insurance policy and a salary about 20% below industry norms.

I went to a Buffett concert in 94 at a new amphitheatre in Northern Virginia... I had been drinking a bit, and the people I was with were starting to annoy me. So what does one do in this situation? STREAK! I ran across the lawn hopping over parrotheads and blankets, narrowly missing a couple ladies... ran all the way across the upper lawn, where it drops off sharply but good enough to stand and get my boxers back on... I thought I was safe, but I got nabbed by security, brought to the security booth, asked for my name, etc, etc... I had practiced this one... "Bill McCutchen, 1385 West Lee Highway, blah blah blah...." I was escorted out. I had to pee. I needed beer. I was rip roaring drunk at this point (the drinks finally kicked in). I got my clothes when I left, but for some reason, I didn't have my keys. They were back in there. I had to get back in. I made up a story that I got a page from my mom, and she never pages me, so I ran out to find the nearest phone, but couldn't hear, so I went to the one in the parking lot. They bought it, I got back in, found my keys, and told my "friends" that I was only let back in to get my keys. I moved to the other side of the lawn and mooched beer off of other people with my pinkslip of the "Official Incident Report" that stated I was caught streaking. I was a popular man that night.... My "friends" were pissed. I ended up going to an afterparty in McLean. Rather entertaining evening that started out with potential to be another lame outing.

The wildest thing I've done to date is run across an open field while a Kiowa Warrior helo fired rockets into a truck carrying ammo, while the truck was cooking off. Thank god the Ba'ath party spent all that aid money to build strong head quarters buildings - there were .50cal size bullets bouncing off it.
Maybe blowing up a bunch of anti-aircraft rounds rivals that - some of them went up and came down near us, exploding on impact. That was more scary than wild though.

I tried to ride my bicycle as far as I could with my eye closed and rode into the side of a parked car at full speed. Maybe not wold, but definitely stupid.
