WHAT is the DEAL with...

Don't forget "hooker-delivery". I'm pretty sure that's going to be the big growth industry in the End Times. Everything else is a blind alley, kid.

Ah. Well, for that maybe you should find a surplus AC-130 for freight/hooker drops and close-air support. Seems like that multimission aircraft would just about suit your needs.

I like the notion of strapping a bunch of hookers to a pallet and air-dropping it. But I'm not a misogynist. Somehow.

You're going to be circling and shooting, so a static-line drop would probably be a better move.

But what the hell do I know? I still haven't broken 100TT and should probably stop speculating beyond my comic-book-and-cartoon understanding of professional aviation. :)

On the contrary, that just means you're not hidebound by outdated dogmas regarding "what one oughtn't do to other human beings" and "safety". You're just thinking outside the box. So to speak. "Opportunity" is often mistaken for "evil". But the people static-line dropping "sex-industry workers" are the ones who write the history books.

You should have seen us pounding beers at the Schlafly...

Getting back to the topic at hand.

I figure "evil" and "opportunity" are going to be pretty elastic terms when your startup (which we'll need to get going on capitalizing NOW) comes into play so at least we can be assured that your insurance will be nice and vague.

Pallet-dropping hookers as cargo into an area in desperate need of supplies and debauchery is, in my opinion, a humanitarian mission. Oooh! Tax breaks!

But, I also believe in running a tight ship, which is why there is no reason each of your pallet-riders can't be cross-trained as gunners. Then, when they offload, you're flying a lot lighter due to no cargo and expended ammunition. Hell, just by cross training we could probably cut your fuel burns in half!

We oughta look into bioengineering some reflex-enhancement and some muscle grafting, a la' William Gibson....

I always wanted to create a flying gambling hall. You fly outside the territorial waters of the US in a DC6 or some other monstrosity with a bunch of room, and have all your slot machines fire up.
 
With what? What red-blooded American male could possibly disagree with turning women in to a commodity? That's our freaking bread and butter, comrade! That and seizing an economic opportunity when it arises. Get aboard now or wind up sucking hind tit (if, again, you'll pardon the expression). Think of it as simply exporting the extrapolated end result of libertine sexuality combined with a savvy business sense. To wit, America! The entire world as a strip bar. Our gift to posterity. "Service" starts tomorrow, if you know what I mean, and I know you do.
 
So. As promised, now that I'm well-lubricated, like any correctly-functioning machine:

WHAT is the DEAL with a couple of Katanas (or whatever they're calling them now) lining up in front of the active runway doing their runups that seem to take 20 minutes? That's what the ramp is for. What, are you adjusting your Ray-Bans and checking the hairspray, Maverick? This dog-doo is high-priority and needs to be there yesterday, damit. I'm burning more gas sitting here than you'll burn the entire 30 minutes in the pattern. Check the mags before you hit the movement area.

WHAT is the DEAL with guys under flight following asking permission to change altitudes? This isn't Soviet Russia, comrade. Descend. Land. You can cancel on the phone.

WHAT is the DEAL with Big Iron drivers on Guard saying "you're on guard" when someone transmits. I swear, someone could be in a flat spin transmitting their coordinates and some guy at FL430 would chime in reminding them that they're on Guard.

WHAT is the DEAL with ATC vectoring a 797 with ten million tourists on board but an approach speed of (apparently) 100 knots in front of me when I'm willing and able to do 250 to the marker such that I wind up practically dying in a burning hole because I can't slow up enough to keep from going up their wazoo without stalling?

More to follow, one trusts.

Two observations on this...even in Europe, it sounds like it's always an American on Guard "guard duty". Not sure how that happens, but it's what I've observed.

Second, I do not think there are many airlines flying at 430.:cool:

(BTW - funny stuff. Must be the lubricant.)
 
My teacher was telling me us a story about a local airline who was about to file a complaint against a controller because he told them to cruise six thousand, and never cleared them to descend:banghead:

FAIL.

I'll have to forward this to the student at my Skool O' Flite that complained about getting a cruise clearance question on his instrument written :banghead:.
