wow, the kitchen towel for those skid tubes must have been enormous!!

I wonder what degree of pitch those blades need to turn to, to get that thing off the ground!!!

I think I flew for that outfit once, way back. They finally "folded", auditors said they only made "paper profits". The competition "boxed" them in, I guess. Cheap bastards, paid me in wooden nickels!

"That will be OK, we can just let the tyres down a bit!!"

Just letting down the back one will be OK wouldn't it?
