All yuor troll are belong to us.

[C Kingsbury]

Merry non-denominational Holidays to y'all out there. Things seem a little
quiet here so here's my year-end wrap-up.

Jeppesen plates are better because they'll get you in to a lot of airports
when goverment plates won't work. It's because the minimums on Jepp plates
are lower, because they're only used by really good pilots and
professionals. They could sell them at the same price as NACO plates but
then a lot of amateurs would buy them and crash.

Personally I prefer a localizer back-course because there's less traffic
there than on the front course, but the needle still moves backwards.

I used to be confused about Class D but then an air traffic controller I met
in a bar explained it to me: aircraft in Class D airspace are bing
"negatively controlled," not "positively controlled" like they are in other
kinds of airspace. He was pretty busy issuing taxi clearances into his
scotch and soda to explain, but he told me I could find it all in the 8710.

Whenever someone asks me how dangerous flying is, I answer, "Well, it's
safer than a lot of other hobbies, skydiving for instance."

Whenever I fly a GPS approach, I use my handheld as the primary guidance,
that way I have the GNS-430 to fall back on in case the handheld fails.

I simply don't trust "plastic airplanes." I didn't like Royalite when they
started putting it in Cessnas and I don't understand why I should feel any
better about them building the whole darn plane out of the stuff. Next thing
you know they'll be building the damn things in China like everything else.
And why does a new airplane cost more than a house? Computers used to cost
$5000 and now they cost $500.

Only wimps announce crossing a runway while taxiing.

Everybody talks about pre-heating the airplane when it's cold, but I think
pre-heating the pilot's a lot more important since most crashes are due to
pilot errors rather than mechanicals. Used to use a thermos filled with
coffee, but since that required pre-heating too, I switched to brandy.

Lost in the debate over women in the cockpit is the question of what
happened to good-looking stewardesses. Who cares if they want to fly a plane
or drive a car? It's not like we're going to let them vote or own property.

All responses may be sent to my assistant, Dr. Sese Mabuko, chairman of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Nigeria.

Cheers,

Great stuff C! Funny! Merry Christmas to you. I know you're being
sarcastic, but, you know, the one about the localizer back-course is true!
Less traffic! LOL!

Good points. I usually copy all the good tips in my logbook for future
reference but with the misspelled subject line, I will have to discard
this post.

I share the good feelings that come with holidays and I with you.
Merry Christmas.

It's not a misspelling. It's a reference to an old but popular Ninetendo
Game made in Japan and not-so-carefully translated to English. I can't
remember the name of it. Anyways, at one point in the game, one of the
villans states, "All your bases are belong to us!"

Funny post, original poster!

Apparently you've overlooked the word 'your' in the subject; 'yuor'
would appear to be a typographic error.

In any event, I find the original article to cast a less than
favorable light on airmen. But, 'tis the season to be jolly and
apparently Christ's birthday is an excellent opportunity for the
metaphysically devout to get plastered and embarrass themselves
publicly. :-(

"allyourbasearebelongtous" has been immortalized as a cheat code in Warcraft
3.

Perhaps it's a reference to the misspelling of 'yuor'.

It's better to be on the ground wishing you were flying, than up there
wishing you were on the ground.

It is what the defending side says when the invaders say "All your bases are
belong to us."

Both phrases are immortalized as cheat codes in Warcraft 3.

Duh! "What you say" is part of the same game.

Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, it

I realized that just as I hit "Send."

Well, I never actually played Zero Wing anyway.

[Jim Burns]

After which I'll say that a Lansing FSS briefer wished me a Happy Kwanza
three separate times during a briefing Saturday morning. Interspersed with
"What's your story?" "Why you go'in there?" "Wat you doin' here then?"
"Where you from anyway?" and after I referenced my in-laws, he told me he
was sorry for me and doubted that I was having a very Happy Kwanza. He also
referred to my trip with my wife and kids as a "Mercy Mission".

Truly bizarre. I had a hard time keeping from busting up laughing at him
cause he was totally serious.
