Alright, here's the first round :drinkers: - I need a good story after the morning (at work!) that I've had. Although, I got a Christmas bonus, $$$, whee!

Thanks!

The residents in the trailer park southwest of the Mosinee Airport used to complain about the noise we made in the '130s. I actually remember ziggin and zaggin to avoid it. C'mon peoples, it's the sound of your friggin freedom and besides, I needed the practice. We used to go to Oshkosh and Muskegon MI to practice too.


Uh-oh...trouble in the trailer park. Maybe you should go up there Paul and demand that they "respect your athoratiyyyyy"!

You can get A-2's just about anywhere but be careful of cheap knock-offs. Some of the good quality ones can run you $400!

Are you going to have a nude "nose art" painted on the back? :oops:

So Steph, in keeping with your gripping medical nightmare stories...there I was, cruising over the Pacific enroute from Atlanta to Honolulu when one of the flight attendants calls and says some large woman trashed one of the lavs. "Whaddya mean by trash the lav?" I asked. She responded in her Long Island accent, "She <<censored>> herself and blew <censored> it's all over the lav, the walls, floor...<<censored>>!! It's a <<censored>> disaster!! We're gonna have to stop meal service to clean it up, it smells like <<censored>> and passengers are complaining!" We called them a while later for an update and she asked me if we wanted the good news or the bad news. Apparently the same lady repeated her performance in another lav. The F/As used the remainder of the HAZMAT kit and got it cleaned up...sort of...but the second lav had to be sealed it off since they used up the whole HAZMAT kit. It wasn't long and we could smell it in the cockpit. I actually put on my quick-don oxygen mask for a while till the smell went away. They never did restart the meal service. So next time you use an airliner lav...happy trails....or something!

Looks like a good price. If you're looking for an authencity indicator, Avirex and Cooper are the companies that made A-2 jackets for the USAF and they're pretty good. I got issued two of them over my AF career.

No, she just wrapped herself in some of those blankets y'all find in the overhead compartment! Sweet dreams on your next flight...j/k, I'm sure those blankies got taken off the plane. We put calls in to make that happen and told the cleanup crews as they came up the jetway steps.
