#181

AGREED.

Sexiest thing goin’ and not a drop needed for hundreds of miles.

#182

Some of my best friends are bickering fighters.

#183

Sounds like a lot of Dramaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! :stuck_out_tongue:

My sexiest flight of all time was a Delta flight CVG-SEA. The FA’s were all sorority sisters from Alabama and they were working their way to a girls weekend. They were fun!

Yaar. Nice office.

#188

Can’t believe this one isn’t up yet…

I wonder if prior to landing the announcement was, “Please bring your seat backs and tray tables to their upright and locked positions, put on your pants and prepare for landing”

Nice zensunry and welcome to the forum. Since we’re half way there, might as well go all the way…

I have to add the Corsair:

1280px-AU-1_Corsair_in_flight_1952.jpg1280×920 276 KB

AU-1: U.S. Marines attack variant with extra armor to protect the pilot and fuel tank, and the oil coolers relocated inboard to reduce vulnerability to ground fire. The supercharger was simplified as the design was intended for low-altitude operation. Extra racks were also fitted. Fully loaded for combat the AU-1 weighed 20% more than a fully loaded F4U-4, and was capable of carrying 8,200 lb of bombs. The AU-1 had a maximum speed of 238 miles per hour at 9,500 ft, when loaded with 4,600 lb of bombs and a 150-gallon drop-tank. When loaded with eight rockets and two 150-gallon drop-tanks, maximum speed was 298 mph at 19,700 ft. When not carrying external loads, maximum speed was 389 mph at 14,000 ft. First produced in 1952 and used in Korea, and retired in 1957.
