Increased security measures at International airports meant that terrorists had to train in other methods of boarding an aircraft.

Looks like Mustafa may have failed the practical exam.

Alright, set off the smoke canisters now but I am sure there must be an easier way to prove that two elliptical vertical surfaces at each end of a horizontal tailplane give less induced drag than a single, larger non-elliptical central fin.

In deference to the other thread:

You might be an aircraft engineer if you persuade JEng that that this is the best way to find the cause of the engine trouble

Still an excellent showing:

Once again, Captain "Fartsy" Malone showed his prowess to the passengers...

Thank you Mr Mac, I'm flattered to be judged so highly in such esteemed company. Just in from work and I need to find something original, but with this thread, at 338 pages long, I may inadvertantly do a repeat.

I'll try to get something up this evening OZ time.

Notwithstanding, this is great fun!
