What makes an ace?

[cheddar cheese]

i wasnt talking about storing things in them, i was saying that more people could be strapped to a P-38 because of its twin booms

 

[lesofprimus]

Lol I think the surface area of the Lanc was greater, therefore more people could be strapped to it...

Although i think the strapping method would not work too well... I think large, industrial size staples would hold those people on better if u were to say, pull an Immelman...

[lesofprimus]

But would the staples hold in extreme G-force conditions????

Hmmmm...

What was the topic of this thread again???

 

[MichaelHenley]

You're living on a big island and you never been in a boat ?

I've been on a boat many times... Numerous ferries, the "Jacques Cartier" and my father's boat (we never named it... but he sold it before we could name it).

I've been whale watching when I was little and I go to Brasil by plane every year.

I grew up on Long Island, which is part of New York... My Dad owned a boat...

I now live on the Gulf of Mexico, and own a boat myself...

Go out on it every weekend...

I fly around 5-6 times a year for various family reasons, and for work...

 

[MichaelHenley]

I'm going to go into a job in which I can smell jet fuel- I love the smell of it! Sort of. (But not thinking of going into sniffing it anytime soon)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i don't think there's much demand for professional fuel smellers these days................

 

[MichaelHenley]

I know... not actually sniffing it as a profession, just having it hang around...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

not actually sniffing it as a profession

it would be fun though....................

 

[lesofprimus]

Yea, till ur brain goes pop... Then ur a vegetable like all those huffers out there...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]
