lol... I love it!

 

[mizzoueng]

Damn it, this has started a debate in my office. :smileyballs:

Can't wait for the show tonight though!

 

[frazil]

Can someone please give a play by play so those of us who can't watch it tonight can read it? (not that I'll believe until I see it)

 

[cement]

do you have rabbit ears?

if so, maybe you should see a doctor about that.

 

[Sschell]

^ I thought the rabbit ears were going to help the plane take off...

 

[C-Dog]

8 minutes before we leave the gate!

BTW, it will fly, because the thrust comes from the prop, not the wheels, and it is all about air speed, not ground speed.

 

[cement]

r u in the speedo yet?

Nope. It will not have the lift of the air across the wings.

 

[maryannette]

Wouldn't you know it. We have to wait through a show about cockroaches to see if the plane will fly.

ICK!!!

 

[DVINNY]

I hope this show will convince everyone, and they not say "well, it wasn't true because....."

IT'LL F'IN FLY.

 

[maryannette]

Sorry, I was lost. :dunno:

 

[frazil]

What's happening??!

 

[kevo_55]

Lost is really a let down.

I need some airplane info!!

 

[maryannette]

They got a model airplane to fly from a homemade conveyor belt. Now, they're going full-scale.

 

[DVINNY]

Who cares about Cochroaches, give me more AIRPLANE!!!!
