As seen at WIX….

A primer for the confused:

Pilots: The ones unable to use the ‘quote’ function correctly. It’s a worry.

Engineers: The ones testing the expletive correction facility. They don’t %#^&$# care about the quote function.

Enthusiasts: We have any?

Anoraks: Ambulatory outerwear with notebooks and without personality.

Experts: No one is one, but apparently there’s a lot around. Somewhere.

Photographers: 25 photos and one line of text, that their wife helped them write.

Journalists: 2,500 words and no photos. Sheesh.

Current military pilots: We are expected to recognise them by their lowered smoked visor.

Not currently military pilots: As above, but with old aircraft cockpit surrounding the smoked visor.

Fire-bomber pilots: You were going to put that out in the ash, tray, weren’t you?

Restorers: The ones regretting starting a thread a couple of years ago about their ‘project’. Often single, with more barn space than housing.

Museum staff: The ones pretending to be Amish airshow groupies, so everyone thinks they’re contributing to aircraft preservation.

Jet crew: The ones who smell of lamp oil and talk to the chicks about their engine only having one moving part…

W.W.I crew: The ones who smell of Castor oil and talk to the chicks about their engine being one moving part…

The ones who’ve never made a mistake on the forum: Mythical.

Or by region:

Chino residents: The ones annoyed by all this Duxford talk.

Americans: The ones unable to deal with serial numbers and registrations, or even aircraft type names, but who keep using overcomplex alpha-numeric designation systems rather than names for types and personal aircraft names rather than serials. Confused? You will be…

Duxford residents: The ones annoyed by all this Chino talk.

Brits: The ones unable to deal with the American designation system correctly and keep using the wrong names for American types, or even aircraft type names, but who keep using overcomplex alpha-numeric designation systems to identify particular aircraft rather their easy to remember names. Confused? You will be…

Aussies: Hot. Just take perfectly good American aircraft and put British stuff in it and wonder why it costs more and doesn’t work as well. Talk funny.

Canadians: Cold. Like the other colonials, but with bigger cars and aircraft engines. They talk funny, eh? Some do it in French, non?

New Zealanders: Different to the Aussies. No, really. What do you mean you can’t tell?

The Europeans: The ones that apologise for their impeccable English.

The Russians: Don’t post, just provide warbirds with Mafia surcharges.

The Latin Americans: The other bilingual Americanos, hombre?

Over to you – If you’d like to insult a WIX ‘group’ fire away.
