It's been quiet so I called in for some food.
Yo quero Taco Bell…

As FlyboyJ said, it's been quiet. So, I thought I'd give you something to talk about.
Not saying you SHOULD talk about it, but I found it and thought it might revive this short, currently-slow thread.
Somebody hit me.
Wonder if it would have enough range to get around the traffic pattern and still land safely?
Service ceiling was only 1,500 feet due to fuel limitations?

I'd hit it. It can't be worse than airport food,
Nothing is truly useless, it can always be used as a bad example...
I reckon your recognition is out; it looks more like a Gulfstream...
I remember taking a Northwest DC-10 from the UK to the US a while back now, it was one of the last DC-10 flights Northwest operated before it retired the type.
Looks like a Boeing 247 designed by a committee...
Gives the pilot something to lean on...

I'm on that like white on rice. Tacos and airplanes? Why isn't this line longer?

Found this in the memoirs of an 81st FG pilot who flew the P-39 in North-West Africa, and remembered this thread:
"Airacobra Chant
Oh, place me not in a P-39
Where the flak is thick and the M.E.'s whine
Where all you've got is a prop and a prayer,
To carry you all through flak filled air.
For the M.E.'s wait for a man in a Bell
To drive him straight to hell.
I've been across and I don't want to go back
For the Jerry has too damn much flak.
Whether your bar be silver or gold
Five sorties and you're damn sure old
For the purple heart or the silver star
I'll gladly take the U.S. Bar.
Just send me across the deep blue sea
And place me in the big B.T.
Where the blonde headed girls can swarm around me.
Or place me behind a hardwood desk
With a good sharp pen and an elbow rest
In closing words of this fruitful song
Your life in a Bell can't be too long.

Bible Gateway passage: Psalm 39 - New International Version
Psalm 39 - For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth while in the presence of the wicked.” So I remained utterly silent, not even saying anything good. But my anguish increased; my heart...
