After getting all of Pope Francis's luggage loaded into the limo at the airport, (and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices the Pope is still standing on the curb.
'Excuse me, Your Holiness,' says the driver, 'Would you please take your seat so we can leave?'
'Well, to tell you the truth,' says the Pope, 'they never let me drive at the Vatican , and I'd really like to drive today.'
"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! What if something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning.
'Who's going to tell?' asks the Pope with a smile.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 205 kms. (Remember, the Pope is Argentinian,)(and Fangio the famous racer was Argentinian.)
"Please slow down, Your Holiness," pleads the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.
"Oh, dear God, I'm going to lose my license -- and my job!' moans the driver.
The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio.
'I need to talk to the Chief,' he says to the dispatcher.
The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going 205 kph.
'So bust him,' says the Chief.
'I don't think we want to do that. He's really important,' said the cop.
The Chief exclaimed, 'All the more reason!'
'No, I mean really important,' said the cop with a bit of persistence.
The Chief then asked, 'Who do you have there, the mayor?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'
Chief: ' A senator?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'
Chief: 'The President?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'
'Well,' said the Chief, 'who is it?'
Cop: 'I think it's God!'
The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, 'What makes you think it's God?'
Cop: 'His chauffeur is the Pope!

A husband and wife are having a friendly debate one night, centered on the topic of who has better friends. They each offer a wide variety of anecdotes and stories, but in the end, they decide to put it to the test.
"Here's what we'll do," the wife suggests. "I'll call your friends, and you call mine. We'll both pretend that the other person hasn't come home yet, and that we're worried. Whoever's friends give the best advice about where to find us clearly know us better, and therefore are better."
The husband agrees to the game, and they both head off into separate rooms. When they reconvene a half an hour later, the husband looks defeated.
"Well, honey," he says, "I think it's pretty clear that you have better friends. Every one of them listed each of your favorite restaurants, salons, shops, and art galleries, and they had phone numbers for each of them. They knew your work hours by heart, your office extension, your boss's name, and even the route that you take home."
The wife shakes her head. "No, dear," she replies, "you have better friends."
"Why do you say that?" asks the husband.
"Well," the wife replies, "most of them said that you'd been at their place, and three of them said that you were still there."

John Reilly, a Cavan man studying in UCD, was on the side of the road hitchhiking back to Dublin on a very dark night and in the midst of a big storm.
The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped.
John, desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got into the car and closed the door... only to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn't on. The car started moving slowly.
John looked at the road ahead and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life.
Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared out of nowhere through the window, and turned the wheel. John, paralyzed with terror, watched as the hand came through the window, but never touched or harmed him.
Shortly thereafter, John saw the lights of a pub appear down the road, so, gathering strength; he jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling
everybody about the horrible experience he had just had.
A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized he was crying... and wasn't drunk.
Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from the dark and stormy night. They, like John, were also soaked and out of breath. Looking around, and seeing John Reilly sobbing at the bar, one said to the other...
Look frank... there's that fooking idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it!!!!

Sigmet, I can't decide whether you are a tactless, inconsiderate, thoughtless friend, or an a55 hole trying to take the pi55.
I hope it's the former.
Maybe it's time to shut up and let Kev deal with it in his own time and his own way.....

Your the one that saidNot too many pilots around here apparently.Depends which way it was headed. -
Well first he was headed south, then east then north then west then south then east then north then west then south.............does it matter? Are they switchable? Or maybe only on twins????Depends which way it was headed. -
Pretty sure it was, it was almost dark and I was riding my motor bike, it was big enough.Ahhhh wasn't a twin was it :)Shirley twins don't have there Nav lights the other way around. Do they?
-
Tonight there was a large aircraft orbiting the Bruthen area, it had its Nav lights the wrong way around, I.e the red was on the right and the green left.
I didn't think such a monumental stuff up would be possible in the professional world of General Aviation.....

Maybe if they stopped requiring a G.P to waste time seeing somebody who has a sniffle, so the somebody can get the doctors certificate required by their workplace (ie let somebody less qualified do the menial tasks) then that could free up some talent.

I'm not sure about aircraft grade, and I haven't bought any for years, but the Nolan stuff used to be above average quality

OAeronautical Quiz
They say it is common sense but here is a Clue: Just remember that a helicopter's blade (in cross-section) is shaped like an aeroplane’s wing, and both catch air giving lift…. now answer the question.
This should be an easy quiz for those who have even a modicum of knowledge about aircraft. However, the answer may surprise you.
"What is the primary advantage of rotary winged aircraft
over a jet aircraft?
Don't feel bad...I got it wrong, too

Whether the guy is a Douche Bag or a Turd, or something else, I think it is a bit of a stretch to go from your personal belief that he has bipolar ( did you make that diagnosis from 15000 km away?), to being scared because a person with bipolar can easily become president of the USA .........I personally believe Trump suffers from severe bipolar disorder that has never been diagnosed or treated.Some of the BD symptoms are described in the paragraph below ...
"People with Bipolar Disorder can become high, over-excited and reckless, or imagine that they are more important or influential than they are in real life."
It's a scary thought that someone with a mental illness is easily capable of becoming President of the most powerful Nuclear-armed nation on Earth, simply because of that countrys severely flawed electoral system, which is easily manipulated by the extremely wealthy.
As regards, your "policy issue" question, I don't believe that fits with this aim of this thread, but warrants a new thread if you want an extended discussion about manufacturing.
