I love this line...

Albania’s antiquated air force of Soviet-designed MiG aircraft, which killed 35 Albanian pilots but no enemies, is finally on its way to the museum and the scrapheap, the armed forces chief said on Tuesday.

after it killed, say, the first dozen of your pilots, wouldn't you start getting it invited to air shows in your enemy's countries, then park it unattended with the keys in it?

That's like the story about the pilot who shot down 5 of his own men - and received a flying ACE award from the enemy.

I'll get it over here....

But, the pre-purchase would have to be done in Albania. Hard to find a good mechanic you can trust there.

My favorite wheels up landing story...

A couple flying into an airshow at the newly retired Castle AFB... landing in their Aero Commander - wheels up.

The runway is nearly 11000 feet long and we're landing three sets at a time (Points A, B and C)...

Plane "lands" - comes to a screeching halt and they finally get out of the plane. She is verbally abusing him... "I told you the wheels were up - you never listen to me. blah blah" and he just kept walking - and ignoring her.

I thought to myself - if he would have listened to her on short final - we wouldn't be in this situation - now would we!?

Having never tasted Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum, how does that taste?

What spice is in that rum anyway? Cinnamon?

I just tried some orange flavored rum and Ginger Ale...pretty good! hahahah

It's vanilla and clove-like spices.
They say it's very secret - on their website.

A favorite worldwide, Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum is the taste that started it all. Mellow aged and enhanced with special fruit flavors, spices and a delicate hint of vanilla for a unique essence all its own.
