fygjam Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Watching a YouTube video related to aviation which included a couple of new, to me, terms. A bad pilot/operator. A crater looking for a grid reference. SLOJ - sudden loss of judgement. Mind you I don't think that is related solely to aviation, I sure that over the years many a SLOJ has been committed on Walking Street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can be observed on the right-hand side of the aircraft. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
