She looks around and what does she see? Nothing but empty sky.
Aahhhh, there's nowhere for me to run, what am I gonna do, say no?

I was hoping that the title was going to lead to an article about someone stealing a B-29, fighters up to intercept it and the perimeter defense guns staving-off the intercept.

Much disappointment.

That's the cleanest B-29 I've ever seen.

"She just jumped out the tail turret!" "Didn't anyone tell her we don't have any parachutes?"

Single AIM-7 Sparrow or AIM-120 AMRAAM, long before the defense guns see anything. Scratch one B-29....

That’s why I proposed on the edge of a cliff in Puerto Rico

Best episode of It's Always Sunny. True as well. My closure rate on the boat is phenomenal.

It was more so if she said no I could push. Avoid that awkward flight home.

Yeah, but you lose half the ticket.

She paid her half.

 

[ppragman]

She paid her half.

Definitely a keeper then.

 

[RetiredATLATC]

She paid her half.

Ok, I liked it before I thought.....you made her pay her own way?

She insisted. Besides this was when I was on D1 pay.

Where do I sign up to be a B-29 FE?

 

[RetiredATLATC]

I believe, and I couldn't find the study from the FAA as well, is that ATC's had the same issues around 56.

I've seen too many good people leave here for the sake of another half percentage on their retirement....that they'll never see.

Unless that plane still has some eagle-eyed gremlins manning those turrets

There’s at least 3 guys here who retired just before I got here and were dead within a year or two. One guy retired on Friday and was dead on Sunday. If everything goes right, day I hit 50 my paperwork goes in.
