"The lack of pedals proved to be a problem. The first prototype, which required the pilot's wedding tackle to be strapped directly to the tail rotor control bar (see photo), was a total failure, due to the pilot's lack of ability to wag his own tail left/right. However, the second prototype, which was modified for up/down control, reportedly worked much better."

Officer Cadet MacGuyver did wonders with some chewing gum foil, length of rope and some building blocks.

Proof positive that the only elegant way to aviate is to rush-down-concrete and gently ease oneself in to the air ... anything else is just brutally bashing physics in to submission

Well, it looks as though this one has run its course, so time for the awards ceremony once again...

The winners for this round are <ahem> in 3rd place, Buster's:
"To infinity and beyo...aaaarrgghh!!!!"
In 2nd place, Rather be Gardening's topical:
"Sorry to interrupt, sir, but there's some bloke called Oscar Pistorious says your blades are too long".
But this week's gold medal goes to.... <...8 second pause...> <drum roll> <squeals from the audience>
...
...
...
Airbourne Artist with
"Wad'ya mean 'the skids are missing'? You should see my underpants."
Well done AA - you have control!



PS A special mention to CoffmanStarter who contributed 19.44% of all entries; still not quite enough to beat Buster's record 20%

I'm honoured - my good friend and aviator Toptobottom is too generous.

This might be topical, but keep it funny

Out here, the sun and heat in the cockpit normally turn most hairstyles frizzy
but it looks like that won't be a problem for you !
