When I hear the words air force, I think of Top Gun. To think there was a time when we all wanted to be Tom Cruise.
A pilot in Thailand has been suspended from the countries air force after he landed his helicopter in the countryside so he could pick mushrooms for his mother. Dude, you’re in the flipping air force. Sunglasses, wind flowing through your hair, badass flight suits. You don’t park your helicopter in a field to go pick mushrooms for mommy, regardless of how great she is.
His fellow pilots are never going to let him live this down. His nickname will probably be Mushroom from now on. Or Princess Toadstool.
