You should try finding one after you've tied it down for the night
Or tied one on?

my brother told a top yarn from some time just after the first gulf war.

seems oz was going to be treated to a visit by one of these new fangled stealth F117 turnouts, so the local radio announcers kept saying.

Night after night it was supposed to turn up just after midnight. Of course in a place like Darwin the radio jocks could easily see the results of their guile. There they all were, hundreds of em, perched up on the end of Runway 11 at Darwin International, with kids, dogs, and eskies full of stubbies, the crowd just grew and grew.

finally, tonight was THE night, then next AM the radio waves were awash with bogus reports of sightings.

It was some days into April before most realised how they had been duped and some months before many would talk about it, my brother included.
