Allow me to clarify on good leakiness and bad leakiness...

Round motors have black leakiness. This is a good thing, as it is an effective way of determining if one still has some of the black stuff on board the aircraft.

Pointy motors have green leakiness. This is a bad thing, as it is an effective way of determining something is about to let go on one's pointy motor.

Round rules! Pointy drools! :o

(Fire away, minions of pointiness! My air-cooled beastie will defy your valiant but vain attacks!)

Because of your unkind, unwise, unzipped and uncouth words,
I henceforth declareth war (warth??) on thou.

Since you live in the People's Republic of Califas, you have
the right to choose your weapon:

Botox injections
Lip Collagen "enhancement"

Call me Frenchie, but I already surrendered to your superior forces. : )


Saludos!

Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

maybe theres something to this Navy Guys are the REAL Pilots :wink: and the Junior Air Farce are for those who don't have it. Nothing like trying to land on a Moving Target,


The next time that they decide the winner of a war by how well you can land on a boat, the US Navy is really going to kick ass.

Until then...MUSTANGS!

Okay, BDK, you got it.

I'll see you in front of El Pollo Loco at high noon.

May the best (or worst) man win.

Borracho beans and sour cream have been proscribed by the Geneva Convention.

Saludos!

Tulio :D

Yea, but it was probably a Navy pilot doing the flying.

Navy pilots are fine as long as there isnt a crosswind, they always head the carrier into the wind.
