Trainee launch guy, "Why does the nose wheel extend like that"?
Experienced launch guy, "Because it generates more lift, same idea as on the Phantom".
Pilot, "PHANTOM!!!! WHERE"?

The Captain won't have it in the hangar, so just to make sure we've hung 3 tonnes of bomb-shaped concrete on it, we've hung Chiefy's model submarine on it and we've stuck the fat work-experience kid in the cockpit, but orders is orders so we tie it down. Finish tightening that and we can get below. Storm forecast or not, this one's not going anywhere.

"Somebody tell this idiot that with his tailhook down, the thing won't launch!"
"That's exactly why he put it down! He is only the cook's assistant, sitting in there for the photo shoot."
