Airplane 101
An elementary primer for those who wonder at all the bits and pieces of an airplane, performed with a good sense of humor. Do notice "Captain, my captain".
Mile high club? Somehow, I just don't feel "sexy" at 40,000 feet when I'm being squished between two complete strangers and breathing other people's stale air. Ooo baby! Hubba hubba!
Okay, Fay. I just had to give you a hard time, you know. :)
Hahaha... Lady Red, you did just take the 'romance' out of the idea. Not that there is any in that meme anyway. I'm glad you like the green plane, I was a little hesitant about posting it actually, it seemed a bit much.
True, MW, that would be a neat thing. I'd like to see the 'nose art' that the women pilots would put up.
I love the interesting, crazy, and diverse stuff that gets posted here. I ask you: what other blog has photographs of a chartreuse, graffiti-covered airplane on the front page?
In 1960, I saw a film called The Chartoose Caboose. In the past fifty years, other than know it was a color, I had no idea what color it was. If I had to guess, I would have guess it was a red or purple.

ReplyDeleteMommy? What's the "mile high club"?
Heh - true Lewy, much consternation and screwing up of faces answering that question for the little ones. I was surprised to see it there really.
ReplyDeleteI cannot (unfortunately) tell you why this is so hilarious to me in so many ways, but it is.
ReplyDelete"I cannot (unfortunately) tell you why this is so hilarious..."
ReplyDeleteTease. :)
Not really Luther :)
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I'm not a member of the mile high club.

ReplyDeleteThe green plane is funny, Luther. :)
Wouldn't it be great if all planes were painted so entertainingly? Love the whole idea. Thinking of the way pilots decorated their WWII planes...

ReplyDeleteWe should get an award! Or something. ;P
"We should get an award! Or something"
ReplyDeleteLOL, I agree.

ReplyDeleteWe do have an educational blog.
