There once was a case of a pilot inviting one of his friends in Britain for a little flight with a sports plane. the pilot died of a heart attack MID AIR and his friend, who had no flight experience whatsoever was there and thought: *****
Then he called the tower, but since he was radio operator at a military airbase or something so he knew the protocol and said that the pilot just died and he had no flight experience. (1)
They rushed in a flight teacher in time so they could tell him how to land the plane somehow. He tried a few times but succeeded in the end. When they asked him whether or not he needed anything he said: "yeah, I just need a drink" or something like that. When he finally succeeded in landing without dying, he wanted to learn how to fly and he got his pilot's license now. (2)
sorry for the wall of text, but I really like this story
