God help me but I think the Russians make great looking aircraft, in a rugged and unrefined sort of way.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

QuoteThe experimental XNBL-1 Barling Bomber in flight testing (1923). The bomber was armed with seven .30-caliber Lewis machine guns, operated from 5 stations, covering practically the whole area around the bomber. It was also one of the first to incorporate bomb bay doors in the fuselage.

What's funny about those planes...Folland Gnat, right? I saw 'em in the Hot Shots movies and thought surely they were some kind of prop, but no, they were real damn planes...huh. That was a weird revelation.

Actually...

... it's a T-45 Goshawk. Not the first Navy plane to be named Goshawk either.

It is modified from a British design, Just not the Gnat.
