I have to say that Nutloose used the scatter gun to great extent and even with the quantity there was some quality. I won't list all of them that I enjoyed, but perhaps use this as the winner...

It's all well and good Bertie, but it takes an age for ATC to come out and change the red flag for a green so we can cross the runway threshold
Good to see that ATC are still upholding the old traditions!

Over to you nutty....

Got the lunch menu let’s see what catering has provided.

soooo, for an Appetizer we get “ crisps de patate originall “, for the Main it’s “sandweech de viande mystere” and the Desert is a choice of “anciennt pomme or orange verde”.

i will tell the the Chief Purser that we will be ready to dine in 5 minutes.

Boss I get you are concerned but I just can’t see the checklist for “rotor wash”. Is it a big problem if the rotors are dirty ?

So it says here on the flight plan, we take off fly around a but, some hovering some high speed passes and return to base, See how many 'likes' we get from PPruNe Spotters about the 'sound of freedom'

or

The Irish Parachute team Pilot later told the board of inquiry that 'well on my copy of the flight plan' it sure looked like Hover at 50.00 foot and turn on the green light' although it could have feel a fly on the paper
