Best Poem

This was nominated by the United Nations as the best poem written by an African child:
 
When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I black.
And you, white fellow,
When you born, you pink,
When you grow up, you white,
When you go in sun, you red,
When you cold, you blue,
When you scared, you yellow,
When you sick, you green,
And when you die, you grey.
And you calling me colored!?
A nice contribution from Paul in Provence

Hey, why am I looking up?

Whoa there. What the hell?? Controls aren’t working.

Time for a mirror check… Hey, where’s the rest of my F-15?

Uh oh, it’s over there… I think I’ve got a definite………………… 

Aw, sh*t’ What the hell is going on here.

gotta wonder, am I the first guy to ever experience a ’cockpit-airframe separation anxiety attack’??

flyg7

 

OK, enough is enough!… I’m outta’ here! But first, the canopy has to go.

flyg8

Phew………………….At least that’s now out of the way.

OK, now it’s my turn. I’m gonna be gone as soon as I find that frickin’ lower handle.

Got it, I’m gone !!!!!!

This ’incident’ caused the USAF to ground its fleet of F-15’s.

How about the guy who took these pictures?
Just when it looks like it’s going to be just another ’average day at the office’..!

What caused the mid-air break up?

The main ”longeron” (stringer) behind the cockpit failed due to corrosion.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time (the photographer)…or the wrong place at the wrong time (the pilot)…..
