Smile Funny / amusing aviation photos

I've done a quick search and, rather surprisingly, can't find another thread on this subject so here is my contribution. "Ooops! I shrank the hangar" or "How NOT to park your ATR"

Now by golly....Ol' Cap is ready to defend his cockpit!

But Cap....please make the announcement "The Captain has turned on the Seat Belt Sign, and all passengers must return to their seat and fasten your seat belts and remain seated until the Captain turns the Seatbelt Sign off. Cabin Attendants please take your seats." "Terrorists attempting to take control of the aircraft should line up in the aisle please."

Then blast away! One shot should do it!

Clearly a fake.
Not even a Captain makes enough to afford the rounds for that thing... it's about $3.50 a shot (not that you need many shots )

Who is that guy?? That photo has done the rounds plenty of times via email.

He can't decide if he's a captain or FO...

Well he probably has the optic sight zeroed for about 2500m. So it'd be safe to tell him to FO if you stand really really close...

Maybe it's a single pilot op. He only has two rings on the left sleeve.

Just slightly alarmed by this statement from the Barrett website:

'Whether you like to play around and go plinking...'

Play around?? With that??

I doubt that any security guy would dare to question anyone carrying an insignificant pop gun like that.
