You've all probably seen these before, but it seems to me like a good time to laugh again. Spook ========================================================================== === A Cobra helicopter practicing auto rotations during a military night training exercise had a problem and landed on the tail rotor, separating the tail boom. Fortunately, it wound up on its skids, sliding down the runway doing 360s in a brilliant shower of sparks. As the Cobra passed the tower, the following exchange was overheard: Tower: "Sir, do you need any assistance?" Cobra: "I don't know, tower. We ain't done crashin' yet." **************** A DC-10 had an exceedingly long landing rollout after landing with his approach speed just a little too high. "American 751 Heavy, turn right at the end if able. If not able, take the Guadeloupe exit off of highway 5 back to the airport." *************** A C-141 was preparing for departure from a base in Thule, Greenland and they were waiting for the truck to arrive to pump out the aircraft's sewage holding tank. The Aircraft Commander was in a hurry, but the truck was late in arriving, and the Airman performing the job was extremely slow in getting the tank pumped out. When the Aircraft Commander berated the Airman for his lack of speed and promised to pursue punitive action, the Airman responded: "Sir, I have no stripes, it is 20 below zero, I am stationed in Thule and I am pumping shit out of airplanes. Just what are you planning to do to punish me?" ================================================================== TO UNSUBSCRIBE go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
