The Banter Thread

Mod to Severe Icing? Down there? Wat FL were you @?

No video of this? :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously though, good to hear you got the worst behind you! :wink:

Sorry Allen- I was a little busy dealing with the ice and turbulence. :open_mouth:

But I will have some pictures of Peru and Panama later next week. 8)

Someone emailed me the following. Hope this brings a smile to someone this fine Sunday morning :slight_smile:

An old Pilot sat down in a Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sipped his coffee, a beautiful young blonde sat down next to him.

She turned to him and asked, ā€œAre you a real pilot??ā€

He replied, ā€œWell, I spent my entire adult life flying airplanes; Piper Cubs, Aeronca’s; flew Corsairs in WWII and later in the Korean conflict; taught 50 people to fly and gave rides to hundreds; flew many airliners, and retired as a Boeing 747 Captain … so, I reckon, I am a pilot.ā€

She said, "Wow!! I’m impressed!! Well, I’m a lesbian!

I spend all my time thinking about beautiful naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women.

Seems like just about everything makes me think of naked women. So, that’s why I’m a lesbian."

The two sat sipping their coffee in silence.

Later, a young man sat down on the other side of the pilot and asked, ā€œAre you a real pilot?ā€

He replied, ā€œWell, I had always thought I was, but I just learned … that I’m a lesbian.ā€

:laughing: yeap…I can relate to the ole guy.

Pack several, they have a multitude of uses, especially in the bush. (No pun intended!)

Anyone know how I can add a comment section to my website? I am using iWeb and my account is hosted my godaddy.
I am stumped- I have been looking on google for days not and can only find guestbooks that take you to another site to leave comments.

:confused:

You should add an entire discussion forum, like this one.

it might eat up all my bandwidth for the month

hey where’d that link go for the chat room

He said he would delete it after a little while. PM phantomjet maybe.

Link is tinychat.com/fa_banter_chat

Maybe Flight Aware would consider a permanent link from the discussion forums so others don’t have to continously search :wink:

Just have it PMed to you and you can just have it in your inbox thing, and you can get it when you need it… :bulb: :unamused:

Flying at it’s finest - Nature style - Video

Flying at it's finest - Nature Style - YouTube)

One video of a series I plan to upload in the future. This video is 2 1/2 minutes long.

Migratory season with the birds on the move. Each segment in the video represents just over 1 second real time.

That is a nice vid! Nearly made me go to sleep. :laughing: The AV-8 has been around since '78. Those in the vid are basically harriers, and have been around for about 7,000 years, maybe 6,000… :bulb: :wink:

:smiley: I appreciate the support Allen… but I don’t want to represent my silly chat room as being officially associated with FA in anyway, and I’m sure The Brass wouldn’t either! :laughing:

If anyone has any problems or questions regarding the chat just shoot me a PM. I know this morning it was acting flaky and people couldn’t connect but it seems sorted out now. Feel free to go there and bookmark it for future use.

Some amazing stick skills in this video

:open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: When you see the on-board view without knowing it was a helicopter, you would think it was a extra 300 or something.

Some years back,I did some contract stuff for the German military. Somebody offered a ride in a BO-105, so I said ā€œSURE!ā€. It was very similar to the video. I lost count of how many times I almost soiled myself!

Barf bag??? :laughing:
