What you get when you let tail-gunners design aircraft.

Ok, so after we do a couple of circuits, I'll do a low pass and you guys throw the Thanksgiving Turkeys over the side. It'll be awesome

Chaps - it's only been up FOUR days! The caption competition tradition from the early days was to leave a photo up for a week unless entries dry up...and they haven't! Obviously some folk have far too much time on their hands and don't work weekends!

However, seeing as the peasants are revolting:

Penny Washers wins it with:

The job of one of the co-pilots is to call "V1" while the other one's job is to call "VNE."

The pilot never knows which one will call first.
Take it away, Penny!

Yes, I've noticed that the tempo seems to be hotting up a bit. Too wet for gardening, and too muddy to be worth washing the car, perhaps?

New picture attached, if my PC will allow me to do it. I'm not too good at these things.
