The Sun says...Sexiest Professions!

The Sun newspaper has published a list today of the top sexiest professions. No.1: members of the armed forces. No.2 : pilots...which is surely great news for all on this forum!

There's a hierarchy among pilots of course. I remember a bunch of us tanker guys inviting some schoolteachers to a party at Gutersloh. Once there they immediately latched on to the Lightning jocks and we didnt get a look in

Women can be so shallow

I always thought a Pilot is what you run through before you use the proper tool for the job.....

Remember 3 things:-

1 Top Gun is a film for Pilots and twelve year olds!

2 Pilots are seat to Collective interface units!

3 Everybody needs a CREWMAN!!!!!

Wink

Also remember that the difference between a pilot and a pig is that the pig doesn't spend all night trying to pull a pilot!

Tankertrashnav,

It's an old, old story. There was even an operatic aria about it: "La donna è mobile" !

If it's any consolation TTN, the casual sex afterwards with women so fickle can be both weigh on the conscience later, and be a little soul-destroying.....








...or at least, I imagine it could be; not having either a conscience or a soul, I wouldn't know for sure. I just enjoyed it

Ask any girl who she'd rather be under, a slightly overweight office manager, or a fighter pilot......

It's a no brainer. You lucky sods!

I found it quite amusing at parties to respond to the "what do you do?" question with "I'm a physics teacher", and have certain women gradually drift away. Then have them surreptitiously drift back again 20 minutes later once a friend had let slip I was a former fighter pilot.

Most young men who aspire to be fighter pilots will say it's because they love fighter aircraft.

They are lying gits - it's mostly because of the choice of girls they'd have at the weekend - single or not! The passion for aircraft will only count for a small part of it.

I'd love to take her out for a drink!

They were probably wondering what time it was and knew you'd have a f' off big watch on....

Nutty hereby admits that most engineers are proper tools.

Excellent - I'm a professor of physics, meteorology, administration & diplomacy!

Party politics

At a party how can you tell who is a pilot
No need, he'll tell you
