    Dilbert, you couldn’t find anything smaller to push the tug back to the field?

    Hi Guys,

    Take a few minutes of your time and check this out.

    If it’s Photoshop they sure paid close attention to the shadows.

    Probably a hoax, and a good one, but I’d like a few expert opinions.

    nice lines, nice paint job, unobtrusive, easy to park, good milage, low maintainance, low cost, solid seats, excellent visibility, sharp wire wheels (optional equipment?), I’m starting to get interested but have one question.

    What does one do when it rains or snows or gets really cold?

    Remember ‘No Highway in the Sky’? 1951 movie with Jimmie Stewart. Stewart was one of the engineers working the “Reindeer”, the airliner, and taking a flight on one. He’s sure the Reindeer breaks up at approximately 1,440 flying hours. Stewart learns that the Reindeer in which he is flying has logged 1,420 hours and he insists that the plane turn back, but the pilot refuses. Stewart explains the problem to Dietrich, a famous musical star, and to stewardess Johns. Both are convinced of Stewart’s sincerity.

    Nice shot!

    What is that little outline on the nose of the aircraft?

    It looks like an outline in chalk of a little old man in a wheel chair.

    It can’t be a kill marking?

    How strange.

    Which would you rather go to war with? (I didn’t say ‘fly with’)

    One F-22

    or

    3,330 P-51

    (inflation not taken into consideration). One F-22 equals the cost of 3300 P-51).

    Lots of .50 cal flying around on an average day, all it takes is one ‘golden BB’.

    On the other hand, that F-22 pilot could make Hartman’s score pale in comparison.

    We know the P-51 can turn a little tighter than an F-22.

    Cost of training one F-22 pilot is probably what it would have cost to train 3300 WW-II US pilots.

    When that one F-22 went AOCP those P-51 could do a lot of damage with their ‘Air Supremacy’.

    Plawolf,

    “guess the yanks are just not used to doing security checks at airports.”

    What they are not used to is taking casualties.

    Three thousand deaths in one day is terrible, but one has to put that into the context of WW-II Germany suffering an average of 14,500 deaths a month, from the air, for the 57 months they were at war. Or Russia, or…….

    So, if you’re in a US terminal and you see your old buddy Jack, refrain from jumping up and saying,

    “Hi …….Jaaaaaack.”

    intruders.

    There was a little 80 year old lady that lived in constant terror of break- ins until her only son gave her a loaded .38 to put in her night stand. Sure enough a few months later she was woken up by an intruder in the house, she could hear that intruder sneaking down the hall way to her bedroom. She very carefully opened her bedroom door a little more and could see the shadow of her intruder outlined by a small night light further down the hall. She was terrified as she saw that he had a few boxes in his hand. At that point she simply edged the door open a few more inches and emptied that .38 into her intruder with her shaking hands. She slammed the door shut, even thought she knew that intruder was dead, and called the police from her bedroom telling them in a shaking voice what had happened. A few minutes later the police arrived and found the intruder’s dead body a few feet from her bedroom door with several boxes strewn around him.

    When she came out of her bedroom and saw the police next to that body she went into shock.

    The intruder was her only son, sneaking in a few surprise Christmas presents a few days before Christmas.

    True story.
