Flying light twin-engined aircraft on one engine is a tricky business...
unless it's something like this...
Or you are flying Burt Rutan's Boomerang.... :D

While I was away on holidays I decided to take a nap after lunch. I went into the van and as I approached the bed I noticed a beautiful hot chick asleep there. I gently lay down beside her and gave her a gentle pat on the bottom in case I had disturbed her. Having drifted off to sleep, I was awakened about 30 minutes later by soft noises. Opening my eyes I saw a beautiful pair of eyes looking intently at me. BIG GOO GOO EYES!!! Four month old grand daughters certainly know how to win hearts!!!:D:D:D:D Signed...Poppy
