[QUOTE=Pilot shocked by snake on plane … and it’s still on board]

A pilot in the Northern Territory has been forced to turn his plane around after a snake slithered from his dashboard.

Braden Blennerhassett with Air Frontier was flying freight to the remote town of Peppimenarti in the Northern Territory when he spotted the snake coming out of his dashboard.

Air Frontier director Geoffrey Hunt said Mr Blennerhassett called air traffic controllers on Tuesday to alert them to the snake.

“He said, ‘We’ve got a snake on board,’” Mr Hunt said.

Mr Hunt said the pilot had trouble communicating with the control tower.

“The snake popped its head out near the transmit button that he needed to press to talk to the tower,” he said.

He was told to return to Darwin and a snake handler was organised to meet Mr Blennerhassett, but the reptile was not found.

I guess he didn’t want to make an asp of himself.

He should carry a machete with him so he can chop the hiss out of the danged thing.

Did you believe it? Sounds like a load of old cobras to me.

So they’ll catch the snake, and on Blennerhassett’s next flight, he’ll realise they missed this.

Jesus that’s all they need. Snakes learning how to fly

They already have.

Another fuckin’ snake on another fuckin’ plane, comin’ out of the fuckin’ control panel, in fuckin’ West Virginia.

That’s it we are doomed.

Ah yes, the North Australian Cockpit Snake gets around, doesn’t it? They hitch rides, you know.

I fly the same type of aircraft as the hapless Australian pilot. Part of the pre-flight inspection will now include a snake search.
