Guest JabJockey Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I guess getting stopped on the ground is preferable to getting shot down by the local F-16 Air National Guard squadron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixtiesrelic Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 There was a story about "The Black Baron" out Quilpie way in the eighties. Got her off the ground and then realized he'd never really watched what the pilot DID when landing. He finished up in the town dump and full of remorse left it there and walked into town to admit he'd been a silly lad to the cops. When he arrived, he had difficulty getting a word in because of a number of excited witnesses fighting to tell the cops what THEY saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
