Ace pilot...
At our school was a slightly strange kid called Colin. He was nice enough, but he'd obviously heard the phrase "never let the truth get in the way of a good story" and decided to take it to extremes. There were numerous stories spiced up with little lies that got bigger and bigger and, it must be said, they were very entertaining. The one that sticks out is his plane crash. Apparently he was in the Air Cadets and had finally worked his way up to his first solo flight (we were only about 15 at the time). He took this plane out over the Firth of Forth and was flying over and under the bridges and round the various islands. Apparently he passed one of the tankers at below deck level. Unfortunately he then ran out of fuel and had to ditch the plane in the Forth. After his text book water landing he climbed out of the plane and started to swim to shore, accompanied by a number of seals who seemed to be concerned for his safety. He walked ashore soaking wet (Ursula Andress & Halle Berry have nothing to worry about), walked to the nearest road and got the bus home. He was really surprised when we said we hadn't seen it mentioned on the news at all.

Wind Commander Bullshit, we salute you! You may have been full of it, but you made many a boring lunch hour fly past.
