Jet On Fire at LAS

[Cherokee_Cruiser]

It's a military thing. Used when something's gone bad and they need an immediate cease/desist of the current activity/formation.

So when this Thunderbird crash happened,



You can hear the order of "Thunderbirds, knock it off. Knock it off."

And all immediately comply and respond "1 knock it off" "2 knockin' off" "3 knockin' off"

Immediate break up of the formation flying / airshow maneuvering and everyone retreats to help diffuse the situation.


So the joke is that these Tier 1 military Delta pilots would probably respond better to what they are used to from the military. Instead of clogging up our frequencies with wind checks and what altitude am I going to since I can't land and you have a burning aircraft on your hands?

Whatchu talkin about Willis?

I don't know why I said that. Sent you an email though! Just a couple of questions, looking for an opinion.

 

[Cherokee_Cruiser]

Yes, it's a joke. Just a jab in good fun. I like my Delta compadres.

Are you "Mr. D"? I got an email I haven't had a chance to reply to a few days ago.

Those people with smoke inhalation . . . there should be one count of attempted murder for every and every one of them charged against those who insisted that their overhead baggage was more important.

Finish the investigation, remove the remaining good engine and electronics, and tow it over to the fire dept training pit.

Meh…

That'll buff right out.

I have no idea what you just said.

He's given up on his anti- gun crusade here, so I guess he's got a new ox to gore.

They are very lucky that the wing skin didn't melt like the fuselage skin did. That thing had a crap ton of gas on it, and that would have been a HUGE mess

The fuselage pressure skin didn't melt, the non-structural fairing is what you see that has burned away. The structural skin of the fueslage is damaged, but intact.

This airplane might actually be able to be ferried and repaired.

If you were in the way of me evacuating a burning aircraft because you were trying to retrieve your stupid oversized already inconvenient for everyone else on the plane "carry on", you would be on the receiving end of a punch to the dick or throat.

I've had the same impulse, but while it might make us feel better, I'm pretty sure an incapacitated person in the isle would be an even greater obstacle to evac than that same stupid person carrying his/her bag.

Don't evac them. Trample them underfoot and say it was for the good of humanity.

Darwinism, baby!!!

Referenced by the man who keeps looking for me in airport restroom stalls for some strange reason.

BOOM! I just went there! Did you feel it? Hell, even @Polar742 felt dat one!

Joke was explained in the video.

Problem is, it could impose Darwinism on everyone else. Save the beatings for after the evac. Seriously, I'd like to see fines imposed on all the folks carrying bags.
