| Don't know where else to put this so..
Taken from Radio Modeller...
Finally, a few quotes from a recent Aerospace Medical Meeting in the
States:-
a) A helicopter does not fly, the earth repels it.
b) The A10 Thunderbolt II is a great aircraft, but slow. If suffers
from bird strikes from behind.
c) The US Navy said, yes, they would be interested in a carrier
version, but they would have to turn the hook around 180 degrees so
that the carrier would catch it as it steamed past.
d) The US Air Force replied to this by claiming that US Navy aircrew
taking part in the Red Flag exercise in Nevada were flying over land
and therefore two items should be added to their survival packs. The
items were a compass and a mirror. The compass was to tell him he was
lost and the mirror was to tell him who was lost.
