pmccarthy Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 On our ABC quiz show Think Tank tonight, the host said that a losing contestant had 'bought the farm'. Can you think of another aviation related saying that has found its way into general use? For example 'I’m in a spin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
