A jargon list that has been beautifully done and shows just how entertaining and informative they can be. Top bombing, oro!

Quite right, bilbers. Plenty of humour, just the right length - perfect.

How does one say in airplane-speak "the pilot has shat himself"?

Well, nothing comes to mind other than the standards: "cheated death"; "almost bought the farm"; "used one of his nine lives" "bit a hole in the pilot seat" (with his you know what) etc. Not all that inspired, but I hope it helps...

Not sure what you mean, Erin. I've not come across it. Does it refer to an aircraft exploding in flight?

Looks like Wiktionary defines aluminum shower as "The midair collision of two aircraft."
