"I recall riding jumpseat in a G159, I knew the aircraft quite well. The crew had missed a preflight checklist item and as the pilot was advancing the throttles for take off I asked if the windshield heat was supposed to be on."
Could this have waited till a less critical phase of flight?
Ha! It's a "No Go" item on the G-1, throttles weren't up to take off power when I brought it to their attention... even got a "thank you"
