Well, we proved it’s possible — and that it would​​​ be better just to pay for the patent license.

It's a cool idea, but completely impractical. We can only hope it leads to something more useful.

I've got it! We'll call it a Segue.

It seemed like a good idea until they started the engine!

What's that lanyard on your waist?

It's connected to a dead man's switch.

I wonder why they call it that?

Mine is:
Man third from left to man in helmet - "I notice he's not wearing a parachute?'
Helmet - "Yes, thought unnecessary. If it goes wrong, simply step off".
Man - " I can't see that working very well".
Helmet - "No one's complained afterwards."

But due to the clever aviation themed pun, the winner is Chu Chu with
I said Century Series, Hoskins, not sentry series.
The CST will be delivered accompanied by an appropriate red mist shortly.

Thank you very much, Traffic.

I think I'll go with this aviation-inclusive photo of an incident forever associated with the name of a popular beverage. Speaking of which, has anyone heard from Kiltrash lately?
