     the  Philippines,  he  said,  "oh  yeah, the Dornier 28, that's the
     plane  where if you lose one engine in flight the other engine will
     take you to the scene of the accident."

       From my cousin, an ex-Marine chopper pilot ...
       As the test pilot climbs out of the experimental aircraft, having
     torn
        off   the  wings  and tail in the crash landing, the crash truck
     arrives,
       the rescuer sees a bloodied pilot and asks 'What happened?'.
        The   pilot's   reply:   'I   don't   know,   I  just  got  here
     myself!' -
       Attributed to Ray Crandell (Lockheed test pilot)
