Dennis Currie flew B777s across the pond to the UK one day then a couple of days later he was flying a Cessna 185 floatplane somewhere on the B.C. coast looking for herring balls for a fleet of fishing boats. He recorded his adventures from both left seats in a lyrical fashion, sort of like the words to a ballad. You won't put this one down until you reach the last words of his songs...
Oh, so you're the real pilot
Said one of the herring fishermen to me
Referring to the fact that I usually fly
A large jet overseas
No, the guys right here are the real pilots
I tactfully tried to explain
I mostly just sit and wait for England
The coastal pilots actually fly their plane
When the fog gets bad, the Boeing stays in auto
Logs on the runway are never a threat
The wings never tangle in fishing boat rigging
Hunded foot separation is unheard of in a jet
I came out here to be a real pilot
Sort of a bus driver's holiday
So, buddy when the real pilots are listening
Please be careful what you say.
