During a training flight takeoff, as I was tightening a loose hydraulic connection, I suddenly saw that an engine was on fire.
Wrench in hand, I turned, tapped the pilot calmly on the shoulder with it and told him, "We're on fire."
He soon had us safely back on the ground.
A short time later I was modestly explaining my great presence of mind in a trying situation to an admiring audience.
Just then two medics passed with our pilot on a stretcher.
Startled, I called out, "What's the matter with him?"
"Broken shoulder!" was the reply.
