The new HUD proved popular with crews

must go and put something in my tea...

cheers,

Conan

"The Utterly Butterly Team decided that the combination of Stearmans and wing walkers need an update to better reflect modern tastes"

or, maybe and

"It is quite safe really - above 80 kts and she sticks to the canopy"


Nope - that stuff in the tea just isn\'t working yet...

back later,

With her long legs folded, it was shown that Buccaneer Brenda would have fitted in the deck lift of the Ark Royal after all.

"Complaints of low-flying over the strip club may have some basis in fact", a lawyer for the MoD later stated.


Plans to take a similar picture with a Geordie lass were shelved, because the Herc was on it's way to somewhere sandy.


But I agree, either the "kazoo" or the "ring sight" should be declared winners

over the RT
Pilot - "Fer christ sake lads drop your c0cks and grab some chocks, I need to shut down!"

or

all of a sudden the new modifications enabled the stude pilots to fly with their left hands.
Though the PIO's had to be seen to be believed.

or

From the time he'd mounted his bird it had been a hard fight.
With two fully loaded underbody hard points and pulling with all his might, joystick shaft slick and sticky in his hand, the G had come on achingly hard.
He gasped as he saw his target in the bore sight then, pulling harder, he grunted as he shot his deadly load – “bang on”, this one was going right up the tail pipe.
He watched his cargo stream away as the stick jumped in his hand and knew that this bird was going down and there was no way he was pulling out, bang seat or not.

"Now look, chaps, I'm all in favour of nose art. But I think we've gone just a shade too far this time".

BAE Systems introduced their version of the 'Flying Lady' on the Hawk in 2005, to much acclaim at squadron level. However, it was considered in some quarters to be lacking in restraint by comparison with its Rolls-Royce predecessor.

Finally, the ground crew had an explanation as to why there were snail trails on the aircraft nose.

Conan's kazoo has my vote. Sheer brilliance you sad, sad man.

...or

The strange smell and the presence of cats circling the nose was explained.

"Bloggs, for some reason, I do not think this field mod for the windscreen washer is going to be acceptable to the AOC!! I say, should it not be the same colour as the rest of the aircraft?"
