Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Without distracting from the fine contribution from RL the readership might enjoy this, I imagine it was rather loud.

Wow! Great pic.
I’m getting this sneaky feeling that the lady on the right in the foreground did not see this coming and will shortly be looking for the exit
Wow, indeed!!
WOOT – more plane pron…gotta love it! Thank you Sim.
We tend to love the Pig down here, even those with no idea can’t help but be impressed by a low level dump and burn
Oh and Lex, my twin brother had much the same response to a low level Bug at the last F1 race. He’s always been sensitive to loud noises (very good hearing) and was caught unawares, the noise coming after the plane had passed and all.
Whatever it takes to get you back in training and not obsessing on microbes.

BTW – If there’s demand I’ll happily supply more pic of pigs performing, many though you can’t see the planes though, just the trail.
Sim, I think you’d make Kris quite the happy New Englander
Ok, I still have the lex directory from a while back and shall put some new stuff in. At the moment though I must retire, its 4:55am and I am spectacuarly drunk. Absinth, hell of a thing.
Hope you feel better, mate. Knowing what I think I do about absinth tho, I very much doubt you will at first.
Funny how the plane’s in perfect focus. That must mean the photographer was in the next plane over but flying even lower… just imagine.
Perhaps, like most pr0n, it doesn’t really bear thinking about in too much detail.

Looks cool–but obviously photoshoped. Try this one:

Just off camera in that one is the FA-18 in the control zone, closing to guns
Lex -
Stay up for half an hour browsing the web, couple of headache tablets, couple of litres of water and clean teeth and it’s not so bad, as long as you don’t have to get up early
Oh yes, one happy girl in New England. Have always loved plan pron – always.
Sim – absinthe and spectacularly drunk – seems like a redundant statement. But thanx for the pron…
“Just off camera in that one …”
Lex, I’m not touching that one. I was a mech. No need for me to get into a pilots sqabble. :0
