The closest I have come to getting my white feather wings or firey pitchfork ( still to be decided ) in an A/C was when many years ago I was returning from seeing a friend in an ex iron curtain country. I was flying out on a commercial French ATR. I had a window seat as I always like to get. Anyway the ATR powers up and starts its run, then cuts power and heavy braking, we come to a stop and out my window I see a Mi8 flying low over the field with a heavy load slung under it, the load was maybe 2m from the ground, the Mi8 and load flew across in front of us and after short wile the ATR started its run again.
Two things, I would of loved to know what the ATRs pilot said to the ATC, and the second thing none of the passengers showed any sign of been upset, it was as if these things happened 3 times a day 4 times on Sunday.
