Duh, Waffle House.

Chicken Little was right.

I just heard about an 80 year old pilot losing control during an airplane race and crashing into the stands. Him and two spectators died, many injured. He flew during WWII and was a stunt pilot in a few movies. He was flying a P31.

He was flying a P-51 highly modified racer called prophetically "Galloping Ghost".

I was over qualified to work part time for a gas station. I have over 20 years of retail but they don't believe in customer service, just get them in and out. I have bad habits since I have experience they said. Was the strangest interview I had been to since I was told many years ago that she couldn't hire me or I would have her job.

WTF??

The news cast I saw said P-31. I could have misheard or they could have misread.

Further pursuant to the air race crash: this morning, the MSM was quoting witnesses as saying it looked like a trim tab had come off the plane, and the pilot used what little control he had left to him to try and direct the crash onto the tarmac, away from the crowd.

That may account for the barrel roll references.

Lord Snow 09-17-2011 07:13 PM

Sounds plausible to me.

Flying is when you throw yourself at the ground ... and miss. :spin:

Oldfart 09-18-2011 01:47 AM

This fella missed missing.

The problem is practicing the missing part. It can be quite painful.

I bought a, what I hope is a soda, from an Asian grocery store. The name of the drink/soda is "Grass Jelly drink". Should be interesting. We'll see.

Oldfart 09-18-2011 08:03 PM

I'll be interested in your take on the drink.
