Meet Melanie, the new flying aid installed specially for the Chinese exchange pilots, who after finally mastering the landing technique are heard to say...

Onan, I was going to say something about the alignment of the horizon reference on your landing aid requiring Melanie to be Chinese too - but I suspect that might veer towards bad taste.

Being an avid reader, Plt Off Scruggs knew about 'Miss Shilling's orifice' in the context of improving the negative-G performance of the Merlin carburettor during WW2. However, he was a little startled to encounter its modern equivalent on the Hawk.

"I know how to handle this, Sir. I came across the same thing in the simulator last night."

"I've completed the external stores checks, but i'm not sure what that little piece of white string is for. Does that release the Flight In Air Material if I pull it?"

The bra was installed to help protect against stone chips.

As this screenshot shows, while the new simulator is, as promised, capable of photorealistic imagery, it cannot yet be released for use. The program has been corrupted with code from the simulation used in the "Resistance to Fornication" training of Catholic padres. Field trials with a UAS resulted in 1.6 hours of simulated flying time over a period of 230 hours use of the simulator by 14 students. During the course of the trial, three formal grievances were submitted by civilian staff responsible for cleaning the simulator.

RESULTS

OK OK OK Enough already - sorry about the delay but

a) This has produced some of the highest standard captions for ages

b) The 'net out here is ****e

c) Do you really need an excuse for having a semi-naked girlie on your computer for another couple of weeks??

...
Oh well, the captions were all fantastic ranging from the hilarious to the down-right sick (Speedpig!!!!!) - but in reverse order:

4th: ShyTorque "Now THAT'S what I call a ring sight!"

3rd: ACW599 "Sir, is that what they mean when they talk about the Machynlleth loop?"

2nd: SASless "I say Bloggs, that is not quite what I meant when I said I wanted to see a Split 'S' !"

And the winner (using the shotgun approach - one of the thousands of pellets HAS to hit)
is.........


Onan: "NOW can you find my clitoris?"

Excellent work guys - over to you!!!!

Well I hardly know where to start. I should of course give credit to all those old girlfriends who gave me the inspiration...



Ok a double for this week. Put a caption on either picture and bonus points for a caption that ties them both together...

#2 "It was time to change the oil on his truck and Gregory looked everywhere for the funnel."

While long known that George Lucas had used WWII fighter footage as an inspiration for Star Wars, it was finally revealed how he came up with the name "Thai Fighter".


--or--

(a) Now we see how the tradition started of putting the Nav behind the pilot

(b) The Bollywood movie adaptation of "Baywatch" looked like a winner.
