THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO "HMMMMMMM"

I can vouch for this, I've lost several planes and tanks after applying cammo....
After all it is OZ!!

I still chuckle about a TV announcer reporting a story about some people who were involved in a crash.
"The victims were taken to the hospital where they were threatened and released."

The banner on CBC Newsworld today said something to the effect that the Lionair pilots struggled to control crashed aircraft.

Well I should think so.

As I re-read it I noticed this....

That's that new math again.

It's like my bathroom reno. It's 90% done but there's 70% left to do.

Well, there's proof right there that North American Aviation was ahead of their time!

Not only one ejection seat, but two, just in case the first one didn't work!

I had several rides in a P-1D. On my first ride I asked Russ if we were going to wear a chute?
He looked at me and said "I'm not leaving this aircraft"!
Okey dokey, off we went............. Zoom!
Always came back alive...

Until the ONE time you don't!

Well there's always a couple of idiots...

 

[mikewint]

a couple of idiots

You must be traveling through a very unique part of the world to only run across TWO!

I would rather tell St Peter I was loving life,
rather than get T-boned in Brazil like one of my brothers.
Besides, think about it! How many pilots have been saved by a parachute, in peacetime?
Bailing out of a Mustang at 1500 feet?????
They were bitchin rides.
Never used a chute in anything but a Christen Eagle, or a Pitts.

.......Bailing out of a Mustang at 1500 feet?????

Wait for it at the 50 second mark.
