Can I ...?

If the Galaxy ever decide to play in St. Maarten (with more than two days notice), I envision myself on this beach...

Fuck that beach. I’m sure St. Maarten has better beaches than that disaster waiting to happen.

Shooter, what’s the island you wanted to go to?

There's a whole article about this beach in Friday's "Life Magazine" Insert in the LA Times.

I'm afraid to ask but what sexual favors were required for you to get to sit in the cockpit of an SR-71. That's pretty fucking cool.

No blow jobs necessary-- just go March Field and pay $5 for the privilege of sitting in the Blackbird! March Field is totally sweet, BTW-- I recommend it.

Hey, you're only like 25 miles from Hemet at that point! It's worth touring as well, hang out with the folks that built those old ass planes. I do hear March is pretty cool though.
Fuck you. Seriously.

Review of the first commercial flight of the A380. Cool stuff. Can't wait for my opportunity...

Fly me to the moon...

Be sure to check out the slideshow, as well.

Oh, and SIA stewardesses, aren't so bad on the eyes, either...

Shooter, I don't know where the fuck you dug up that last link, but it caused my browser to go insane and crash my computer.

I like food ! Airline food, specifically !

Warning: If you are anything like me (which thankfully you are not) you might just get lost here, browsing this site. It is very similar, yet different, than getting "lost" at this site.

I prefer the latter, call me crazy. Anyway, this site doesn't get updated all that often because apparently the owner of said site lost his dad a year and a half ago. Some people adjust better than others, I imagine. What do I know...? I just keep on drinking. Anyway...

I would request that we start our own here. I won't be on a flight soon (knock on wood) but this is a brilliant site/idea. LFC is in Hawaii, so I know he might be the first to respond (please bill?).

Oh, you can browse the aforementioned site by airline, meal type (I hate these cunts, btw, EAT YOUR FUCKING FOOD, THIS AIN'T HOME) fucking whining bitches, fuck ! Sorry... Check out Ryan Air... I found this extremely hilarious...

Anyway, I'll see ya there... Now shut up and eat your fucking non gluteus maximus meal...cunt...

e.g. I want to smash this "Anna" in the face with an ax...

Anna's complaints

You may have to scroll down to "gluten-free", under "medical meals", British Airways, etc.

138
Photo taken by: Anna Moilanen
Flying from: London Heathrow to Chicago O'Hare, 24 June 2003
(9.20 am - 11.30 - 8 hour flight)
Ticket price: approx $700 return
Aircraft type & class: Economy
Meal type: 1)
- mushrooms (3 pieces), tomatoes (2), potato balls (3) and
asparagus (2) in bean sauce (taste like can beans). (dry, quite
tasteless.. speacial meals arrived a lot earlier than the other meals so
either cold beans with wine that came later, or taste of beans)
- apple strudel (frozen. has gluten, i had asked gluten free vegan)
- orange juice (tastes like any cheap orange juice)
- roll (see before, had asked gluten free vegan. plane left 1 hour later,
so i was hungry and ate it.)
- fruit juice (die plane fruit salads, die! they look always old, and
everything tastes like melon!).
- coffee
look and taste : 4,5
2)
- snack + drink. again those bad tasting and smelly worcester sauce
things, nad them!! so coke etc
3)
- 3 mini sandwiches (vegan but normal bread). tasted ok but i was very
sick after.
- similar fruit salad than few hours ago.
- apple juice + coffee
look: 4
taste: 4
lacks imagination, looks cheap (can't find a picture of the sandwiches but im sure there are those already at the site)

EDIT: The site isn't conducive to linking, so to speak. Click here , to get going.

For instance, I'm traveling from Amsterdam to London (Gatwick) on British... I NOW know what food to expect on the flight ! $1.00 to the person who answers correctly, first ! See, this is a money making site !

I don't mean to fill your heads up too quickly, but for those of you "Faggots" that are afraid of turbulence, Captain Lim, will help assuage your fears. By the way, I am a faggot and recently, the BBC says the use of the "faggot" is OK. All hail leftist broadcasting !!!!!!

Anyway, after I had a "twilight zone, John Lithgow type event" over Greenland, I searched for info and found this site.

The Captain is cool beans !

Ask the Captain

Warning: Again, you can get lost, here, as well. However, really good stuff... Click on the links on the left. A lot of it is somewhat technical but a lot of it is/are questions you were always afraid to ask. Enjoy !

Quite possibly, the greatest site on the innernets...

Bitchin'

Also, in an effort to keep this thread "one stop shopping for all things aviation", I offer you this wonderful site which reminds us that we eventually must die !

I had a dream where I was running from a burning plane where I was on fire and then I had a milkshake at the airport bar...

from the link on the left... 100 worst

By the way, I was a mere lad of 11 when I had these photos shoved down my throat. Every time I fly, I fear that the plane will lunge to the left and turn over like Carlos Ruiz... I've been traumatized, for life. I saw the plumes of smoke from my house, swingset...

The horror

Now, here are a few photos of a nice little airplane... Peace through Superior Firepower !!!

The plane in these pictures is still officially the 'Air
Vehicle Number 1', a prototype, on board the USS George
Washington CVN-73 for catapult fit checks. Not exactly still
Top Secret but certainly not yet made public.

It will be known as the F/A-37. Although specs are
classified, it is believed to be Mach 3.5 (top speed in the
Mach 4 range), super-cruise stealth
fighter/bomber/interceptor with approximately a 4,000nm
range. Awesome!

Check out the Navy test pilot in the cockpit of the

F/A-37...LT Kara Wade

Now, call me old fashioned as I think a woman's place is in the home (send complaints to somewhere else). However, the following picture may have just changed my opinion. Forget the French Maid's outfit, the nurse, the ticket taker at Magic Mountain outfit, etc... Put on your flight suit baby !!! Come to papa... !
