Pilot to Co-pilot, " Do you think we won the spot landing contest ?"
Co-pilot to Pilot, " I don't know about the spot landing contest, but my shorts now have spots in them, and I can't find my seat cushion"

Edgar, please tell me again how putting the small wheel in front solves all the landing problems!

Looks like a fatal attempt at a 3 point landing.

Dugas and Thibideaux are coming in for a landing when Dugas looks down and sees the runway in front of them.

D: "Man, dat is da shortest runway I ever did saw!"

T: "Yah, how we can get in der? Dat ting is short as my driveway!"

D: "Okay, you drop the flaps and hit da breaks and we'll trow Boudreaux out da side wit a rope and he can grab a palm tree and dat'll stop dis ting for shore."

They cram the plane down on the runway, slap the flaps down, Boudreaoux leaps out the side hatch and impales himself on the palm tree, the rope snaps taught, the plane collapses in a cloud of dust, breaking its back along the way.

The two pilots untangle threselves from all the gear that has dropped from the ceiling and flown forwad from aft of the cockpit.

Dugas looks out the side window and says

"Dang, would yo look at how WIDE that runway is?"

an entire new meaning to the phrase "take a bow"

I can't believe you blokes don't know about this! It wasn't an accident. It was a secret program to develop a B25 that could sniff out landmines on unsealed runways.

hmmm methinks this was the inflatable version [B-25I] that blew a valve and lost some air-pressure....

I knew we should have used the name-brand duct tape....

"The crew of this B-25D nick-named, "Bloodhound", shows just how far they'll go to sniff out the enemy!"

To paraphrase Jack on a previous thread....."Dang it, Gary's not going to freakin' like this!" :lol:
