Hard to pick these, but the ribbon winners:

Equal third place:

Big Pistons Forever:
Well we ran out of aluminum but we had lots of extra Plexiglas.....
Nutloose:
Hanna Reitsch couldn't remember the last time she has such a good shaft in the cockpit
In a close run second place:

ShyTorque
The Heinkel "Peacemaker" was the first unarmed fighter bomber. Because people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones....
And, for a years supply of Windex and a squeegee,

The winner:

Nutloose:
"Hanna, Vhy does ze ground crew standing under ze nose keep shouting ze Kamel Toe, are ve joining ze Africa Corp?"
The baton is passed to Nutloose.

The crew are reporting that they may have had a hot start, but buggered if I can see any evidence.
