Drunk pilot: Where have you hidden the runway?
An intoxicated pilot had to be guided to land by a rescue helicopter after he radioed the control tower to ask: “Where the bloody hell have you hidden yourself?”The 65-year-old amateur pilot allegedly tanked up on beer and wine before taking to the skies above the eastern German state of Thuringia in his Cessna light aircraft on Saturday afternoon. Once airborne, he served himself some more cocktails while at the controls
Two hours later he was apparently so inebriated that he was unable to read the instruments telling him where the Schoengleida airfield was.
“Come on, I know you’re down there,” he radioed. “Where the bloody hell have you hidden yourself?”
