Caption competition

[Pontius Navigator]

The competition for Zero Length Launch brought some innovative proposals.

[Wensleydale]

"No Bloggs. This does not mean that you can wear zips on your flying boots".

[Lima Juliet]

(NOT A CAPCOM ENTRY) Just for info, this is a model of a J3 Cub and no bugsmashers were harmed in the making of this photo...

It was taken at a model aircraft show in Linz, Austria.

"Take a brace, Mister !"

[Hydromet]

OK gents, starting to slow down, so judging in about 12 hours time.

[squeaker]

Bloggs first landing attempt revealed that the tyres were somewhat overinflated.

[Hempy]

T minus 10,
9,
8...

[Traffic_Is_Er_Was]

Maybe I was meant to throw everything into the other corner?

Or

Please secure the cabin for landing.

[NutLoose]

"You call that a bounce on landing? now this IS a bounce"

[CoffmanStarter]

Are you sure it's not a Tailacraft

[Buster Hyman]

To be honest with you, I think Von Braun had something else in mind...

[Danny42C]

So 2053 Z. Better get my skates on ! Three for the price of one ! (This is not a Caption)

"Get out of this, Houdini !"

"Return your aircraft to the vertical position for landing".

"Stand to attention when you speak to me !"

[SteveCox]

Just at the point of take-off Buster's wallet slipped out of his pocket and dropped to the back of the aircraft.

[Danny42C]

(Three more):

"When I said 'Rotate !', I didn't mean this far !"

"Whatever gave you the idea that your thrust exceeds your weight ?"

"A Convair XFY Pogo made a better job of it than you'll ever do, Hoskins"

[Roadster280]

The aircraft had been about to execute a perfect landing, when it saw OC 230 Sqn at the last minute and got a bit scared.

[NutLoose]

I don't mind flying around the world with an electric engine, but which bright spark put the batteries down the arse end.

[ricardian]

I think it's just seen a mouse

[Fantome]

errrr . . . . .. that what Danny said

[Danny42C]

"Is it supposed to do this, Sir?"

(Thanks, Fantome; Ricardian, you are forgiven - suggest substitute "spider" !)

[Hydromet]

So many excellent suggestions, it's difficult to pick a winner, but I'll go with...
In 3rd place,

Steve Cox, with "Just at the point of take-off Buster's wallet slipped out of his pocket and dropped to the back of the aircraft."

In 2nd place, Danny 42C with "My next trick is impossible !"

Sometimes the obvious ones are the best, so a round of applause, please, for Stanwell, with
"A bit early on the round-out there, Hoskins."

Take it away, Stanwell.
