Six Flags over Hell (HUMOR)

[tet68]

I don't know to tell you the truth, I only remember looking out the open side door and thinking whatever it was wasn't enough.

Those 20 minutes were the rush of my life. Unfortunately, the ride lasted 80.

I love this line. LOL. Thanks for the ping.

"I realized I was the first person in history to throw down."

LOL!!

LOL ... know what you mean ... I can go up 35,000 feet in an airliner, but 10 feet on a ladder? ... that's sCaRY ... (obviously if one had to fall, 10 feet would be the better of the two!)

Reilly did a follow up to this story when Commander King took his squadron to Afghanistan. If anyone can dig up the story I'd appreciate it. (The GD numbnuts at cnnsi.com only archive his stuff back to 2003).

Also, this is where I'm headed at the end of March: Click here. My goal is to not egress anything when they flat spin me.

I got this back in an e-mail and think it is one of the funniest stories I have ever read.

Springsteen did a song about that "57 Channels and Nothing On". Love your tag line, BTW.

Someday you may be invited to fly in the back-seat of one of your country's most powerful fighter jets. ...If you get this opportunity, let me urge you, with the greatest sincerity...

Whatever you do ...

Do Not Go!!!

Whatever you're thinking a Top Gun named Chip (Biff) King looks like, triple it.

...If you see this man, run the other way. Fast.

Sorta like the line that goes, "I've been happily married for 5 years, we're celebrating our 30th anniversary tonight"

I've been happily married for 5 years, we're celebrating our 30th anniversary tonight"

LOL.

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Thanks SO much!!!!

[SandRat]

I don't remember either just kept looking for the biggest guy in tere to sit on for extra cushioning and realizing we're all skinny as rails.

[hoosiermama]

Really need this laugh today, thanks!

[SandRat]

Glad you enjoyed it.


Too bad he didn't describe his reaction to the launch and the trap. Though I don't know how it could have been funnier.

[hoosiermama]

Is this plane similar at all to the one Bush landed in on the Abe Lincoln? I mean in size, etc. How would they compare?

[SandRat]

The one GW used I believe was a twin prop job with the pilot and copilot sitting side-by-side and crew space in the rear, 600 knots maybe 800 knots max speed. The plane refered to here I beleive is a twin jet engine swing wing job, pilot in front and radar operator in back.

[hoosiermama]

Thanks. The most mechanical thing I know about airplanes is "fasten your seat belt" That I can handle! Do love to fly...on a commercial plane....usually get sick on the little ones....made this even funnier!

[tet68]

As they say, it's not the fall but the sudden stop at the end that gets you.

The F14 Tomcat is a buff, high-performance Multi-Role fighter. Bush's jet, although all right, isn't in the same class as the F14 (it is closer to a trainer, but it is a very real fighter jet). Only the F-15 and the F-22 can outdo an F-14. Too bad they can't find a place for it.

Funny!
