Slartibartfast 153 Posted July 7, 2009 Apologies for any offence but this made me chuckle Sixteen reasons why Airplanes are easier to live with than Women 1) Airplanes usually kill you quickly - a woman takes her time. 2) Airplanes can be turned on by a flick of a switch. 3) Airplanes don't get mad if you do a "touch and go." 4) Airplanes don't object to a preflight inspection. 5) Airplanes come with manuals to explain their operation. 6) Airplanes have strict weight and balance limitations. 7) Airplanes can be flown any time of the month. 8) Airplanes don't come with in-laws. 9) Airplanes don't care about how many other airplanes you've flown before. 10) Airplanes and pilots both arrive at the same time. 11) Airplanes don't mind if you look at other airplanes. 12) Airplanes don't mind if you buy airplane magazines. 13) Airplanes expect to be tied down. 14) Airplanes don't comment on your piloting skills. 15) Airplanes don't whine unless something is really wrong. 16) However, when airplanes go quiet, just like women, it's usually not good.

macelena 1,070 Posted July 7, 2009 Once a girl told me i would never get a girlfriend if stood as an aircraft nerd. I showed her a picture of a P-51 "This is 60 years old. Will you look as beautiful then?" Of course, we had nothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) I would have said a Spitfire Mk 1 but hey beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that comment is a good one... I will have to remember that one when a girl has a go at Classic Motorbikes... as well Edited July 7, 2009 by PACMAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viggen 644 Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Once a girl told me i would never get a girlfriend if stood as an aircraft nerd. I had an easy solution to that problem. Don't talk about aircraft. It worked ....for so long I'm going to remember that Mustang comment. Edited July 7, 2009 by Viggen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will you look as beautiful then?" Of course, we had nothing Awesome!!! Doesn't seem to be a problem for fighter pilots though! I say women can come and go, but aircraft will always be there.

Derk 265 Posted July 9, 2009 My secretaries in the office commented that in aircraft the black box is easier to find because it gives signals..... Again apologies for any offence, but they really said that (chuckling........) Hou doe, Derk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
