I checked in with a "Long-EZ Experimental" and was promptly deemed an "RV." I tried to correct him a couple times, but just got my clearance and landed. As I was rolling out, "NXX, what type IS that?"
"Not an RV, sir!"
I guess if your definition of interesting is “pointless wastes of energy and resources to prove well-known principles” then sure, I’ll happily concede to missing that point.
Next, do a mountain propelled by solid rocket boosters.
I guess you missed the part where he has an imminent engine failure (and maybe a fire on the way due to a presumed oil leak) and he agrees to fly a full pattern. His landing on the runway was pure luck (and he won’t last if he keeps relying on it). That was garbage decision making and ****...
1) You’ll never do that again.
I promise.
2) You now have an excellent interview answer when asked about a time you made a mistake, learned a lesson, etc.

Training facility/check pilot: “Sorry, but you’re dangerously unqualified to fly this jet. You may crash.”
Guy: immediately crashes plane and dies.
Internet: completely stumped
