Heard this on the news a couple of days ago, wonder if we'll get free Viagra from the Clinic.
Only helps going east bound, could make those Sin and BKK nightstops more interesting! Although the Ozzies might s**t a brick as we walk through immigration with Stiffies!!!:E

[fractional]

Wonderful stuff... From now on, it'll be part of our new Vaccination Booklet/Card with the compulsory jabs:cool:.

[mupepe]

mostly effective for east bound trip !

[Thylakoid]

Here we go ... the blue pill will be part of the Aussie Trip Kit:}

[picu]

As long as it's not used during night flights - might cause some unpleasant misunderstanding in a dark Airbus flightdeck......
....especially during a TCAS RA with a TRI in the right seat:}

Pull Up Pull Up

I suppose we should all be thankful this little gem of medical science wasn't known when they made 'Airplane' a.k.a. 'Flying High'.

I don't even want to imagine how Leslie Neilson would have handled that particular scene.

This news could bring a whole new meaning (or pilot reaction?) to one or two of the automated EGPWS callouts, eg "PULL UP!"

[unruly]

I can see the situation now..."Terrain" infront of you (two of them actually) and when you go for the dive, it will say "Pull up! Pull up!" ("Pull out! Pull out!" seems more like it) :oh:

That can help in the long haul flights too as it makes you "stay up" all night! :ugh::O

I have control (of my stick)....ooops wrong one :eek::mad:

The Fox and Firkin

[Alpha 6]

what if both of the pilots are in the fencing team?:}
play...en garde

[scanscanscan]

The new gold standard NHS nightstop medication recommended by the CAA for pilots is... Viagra mixed with Prozac....Basically if you do not get a F..K you do not give a F..K.

[MachD]

Will stop us from rolling out of the crew bunks!!

(Sorry..... oldie but a goodie)

[NO FD NO SRS]

Do you take it before the the flight or after the flight? :ooh:
