Mighty Mouse .....

this is hilarious - let's play "guess the picture" =))

i CAN see it - and it's a yootoob clip rather than a picture this time

shall we take a Wedgy outside and beat him around the head/chest/face area?

ps - C17s smell of poo!

it seems you & I can/can't see the same ones SM this is a utube clip & its find for me

I like them Wedgy. I think they are graceful in the air compared to what they look like on the ground - now for a real ugly a/c both on the ground & in the air you can't beat the Astor :ymsick:

fat and bulbous (and I'm an expert on such things

)

all pointy and slopey in the wrong places [-x

sharp and angular here and there

and duller that Dull McDull from Dullsville - turbofan engines i-)

and they're Murkin too - nope definitely nasty 'orrible things

one saving grace though - at least they don't go "woka woka woka"

nothing wrong with heloplictors SM they have some very dishy pilots too

by **Mackrick** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:28 pm

aahhh woka woka the wings go round that just isn't right

by **Saracenman** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:43 pm

dishy pilots? [-x

don't forget that the only way that rotary aircraft stay aloft is that their pilots are so ugly that gravity repels them - the rotor's only there to keep them cool under pressure

you know what the truth is SM

by **Saracenman** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:50 pm

yeah, but he's a fixed-wing pilot in his head

he's only flying helos until his jet place comes up

anyway, how d'you know i haven't passed on my mother's wise words to him? =))
