Some Airplane/Airline Humor

Airline pilot humor:

When the time comes I want to die in my sleep the way my father did, relaxed and calm.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers were.

I took a pretty heavy ride in a P-51 Mustang last summer.
No F-14 to be sure, but it pulled 3+ G's in the turns and
if I had been eating milk duds, they would have decorated
the cockpit of that plane to be sure. Funny, I thought I
was going to be tougher than that. I was one wobbly-legged
land-lubber when I climbed out of the cockpit and slid down
the wing.

Steve,
Who's P-51 and what was the nose art name? Once you have done it you are hooked for sure.

Rick,

This particular P-51 goes by the name: RED NOSE
It belongs to the Confederate ( oops - Commerative ) AF.

Red Nose has been with the CAF since the mid-1950s. Yes, they had to stop using the word "Confederate" and switch to "Commemorative" since "Confederate" is now a bad word. Damn that political correctness.

Hey Rick,

Like the way I spelled commemorative? Fingers faster than
the brain....

Rick,

I'd do it again in a heartbeat! I'd just ask the pilot to
refrain from those hard banking turns. Widdle Stevie can't
take dose maneuvers....
