“Those picnickers at the the right side of the runway were a bit too close for comfort on takeoff. Thank goodness I just scraped by!”

Good God, while we were sorting out that comms problem, Monsieur Mangetout popped by for a quick snack...
Having cleared the carrier Flight Deck, PO Black checks for any damage done to the plane by Hosking attaching the bridle to the wrong part of the aircraft on his first ( and last ) day on deployment

Rule one, Skip... if you’re gonna take a wing off, do it on the side that’s not viewable from the bridge.

Thank you aviators and aviatrices,
End-of-week is looming so it's trays up and seats forward as we approach judgement day.
In reverse order of Grumman wing sweep lever settings.
Lever position 6 is S for stowing, supersonic and shuddup.
Right, when we land, just get out and walk away. Don't look at anyone, don't talk to anyone. Just walk. If anyone with more bars stops us, it was like that when we took off, ok?

Lever position 5 is wired incorrectly.
Putting the refueling probe out isn't going to help!
by Dan Gerous
Lever position 4 has a loose detent.
Grumman F-13½
by cavuman1
Lever position 3’s label has been deliberately scrubbed off.
Sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh - but I keep imagining the look on that Russian sub captain's face as he came out of the hatch and saw 15' of Tomcat wing embedded in his periscope...

Lever position 2 is the name of the nearest pub to the base.
Viper: You boys get it all too easy, when we flew the Phantoms and the Crusaders, we flew them even with wings folded.
Maverick: Hold my beer.
by Beamr
Lever position 1 is clearly labelled as
Where's my wing man?

Great pic, Cattletruck - never heard of that incident, unlike the famous Israeli F-15...!

The Duke had returned as a particularly vicious and venomous breed of hornet, chasing Harry all the way back to T5 at Heathrow, stinger at the ready...
