Several years ago, our Vickers FunBus was on static display at some Spam airshow. We watched with interest as one of Uncle Spam's (then) brand new B-1Bs came hurtling into view, before pulling up steeply, cranking it round and landing.....

In true Spam fashion, as soon as the engines had stopped and the lantern-jawed Captain America in his aviator shades had left with his crew, it was roped off and fierce looking goons with guns and chrome plated coal scuttle helmets kept everyone at bay....

However, at the end of the day they let us in to have a look. I noticed some grizzled old M/Sgt looking a bit pi$$ed off, so went to chat. "Nice arrival - very impressive jet!", quoth I.

"Damn young kid overstressed the motherf****r. I'll be here for goddam ever checking the thing.....!", he growled.

Ooops!
