My favorite was "LH Ejection seat handle fails to function, safety pin installed".

This was on an F-16 at Hill AFB depot IRAN maintenance. Makes you wonder what the writeup would have been if the pin wasn't installed?

Thats been floating around for a long time.

First saw it in on the board during flight training in the 1980s.

It refers to a missing engine, which would have been a piston engine, so it probably dates back to the 1950s at least

It still cracks me up every time I see it.

Sounds like Southwest.

Flight attendant announcement on landing:
"Remember to take all children with you when you disembark or we'll sell them on ebay."

By the way, the airline these came from is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.

I was going to ask what 'major' airline "never, ever, had an accident" but after reading this, I'll ask "What airline uses IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) and Targeting Radar"?

Top Drift, but timely:

10 Quotes About Politicians

A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen - Winston Churchill

An honest man in politics shines more there than he would elsewhere - Mark Twain

Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word - Charles De Gaulle

When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators - PJ O’Rourke

Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president but they don’t want them to become politicians in the process - John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber - Plato

Statesmen tell you what is true even though it may be unpopular. Politicians will tell you what is popular, even though it may be untrue - Anonymous

A politician thinks of the next election - a statesman of the next generation - James Freeman Clarke

Now I know what a statesman is; he’s a dead politician. We need more statesmen - Bob Edwards

Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress .... But I repeat myself - Mark Twain

In Vietnam, we Avionics Techs had good and friendly working relationships with the copter pilots.

A typical write-up:

Pilot: VHF radio only works intermittently.

Avionics: Advise you only use radio when it works.

I live aircraft maintenance - this stuff always makes me smile, no matter how many times I hear it - Thanks!

(Back in the day when I used to test-run jet engines, a leaky seal would often cause a bit of oil smoke after shutdown - my official diagnoses on the crab sheet would always read: "Smokin' PT Blues" - drove my manager nuts.)
