Well my agistment has almost come to an end. Will soon be back on that airplane headin home.

Speakin of airplanes:

Seamus and Murphy were sitting in a bar getting really drunk. After awhile, just drinking gets boring, so Murphy looks at Seamus and says, “Hey, you want to go up for a ride in my airplane?”

Seamus says, “Wow, you have an airplane? Let's go!”

So Murphy & Seamus get more beer and go for a tour around the city in the plane.

Eventually they get bored with this too, so they decide to land. Murphy by now a little on the drunk side, starts circling around looking for a place to land, and he sees an airstrip close by.

He says to Seamus, “Let's land here. It looks like it's as good a place as any.”

So Murphy circles around and goes in for a landing, but at the last minute he swerves and pulls back up. “Shoot!” he says, “That is the SHORTEST runway I have ever seen! How is anyone supposed to land on it?”

But since it's the only runway nearby, he decides to try again, with the same result.

Getting pretty irritated, Murphy says to Seamus, “All right, I'm going to try ONE more time, and if I can't land it we're just going to crash and hope we don't die.”

So they end up crashing, and miraculously neither is hurt.

When they crawl out of the wreckage, Murphy swears and gesticulates wildly at the runway. “I'm gonna find whoever designed this crazy runway! He must be total moron! No one could land on anything that short!”

Seamus looks around and says “Yeah, but look how wide it is!”

Slan go foill! :wink:

You Aussies (Ozzies?) crack us Canadians up. This was received in my email inbox today.

---------------------

Never let it be said that Australian ground crews and engineers lack a sense
of humor. Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints by QANTAS
pilots and the corrective action recorded by mechanics. P stands for the
Problem the pilots entered in the log, and S stands for the (Service)
Corrective Action taken by the mechanics.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto land very rough.
S: Auto land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on backorder.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200-fpm descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're there for!

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windscreen.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing. (Note: this was for a piston-engine airplane;
the pilot meant the engine was not running smoothly)
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed radar with words.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an
accident.
