I forget how I came across this website. Most are funny, but check out the "Lost my job today" "Women live longer" and "Signs" links.

Thanks for the link. I really like the "Stealth Fighter".

Geez, Mark, I got some work you could be doing.

I've seen most of those, but not all in one place. Great stuff.

Sign14 makes me want to move to the Canadian heartland right now. People Eating Tasty Animals, indeed.

Oooooo.....

.....that's lottsa stuff on aircraft.

That new stealth "paint" is a lot more effective than it was when the technology was simply called "reduced observables technology"

You never really appreciate the "Two Man Rule" about handling the stuff until the other guy has to make a head call(and YOU want to suddenly become invisible)

Woah...!!

Nothing "Stealthy" about those guys

I think it would take at least a couple of EP600s to out shoot that kinda noise, that is if you still had any hearing left after living there for a while!!

FM, the Kai Tak (now closed) airport in Honk Kong was regarded as the most difficult airport to approach in the world. The visual approach consisted of near vertical like descents to the pictured 'checkerboard' where a tight descending turn was made to the short and always crosswind laded runway. I've seen some pics of 747s landing while scraping an outboard engine along the asphalt!

That almost makes some of the more harrowing landings I'd seen aboard an aircraft carrier(USS Kitty Hawk)during Nam, seem tame in comparrison

Hmmmm....I wonder if the only pilots who actually felt(relatively)secure landing at Kai Tak airport were ex-Navy types

F107, did you guys have any of the Douglas AD Skyraiders on board the USS Kitty Hawk?
