Two US Air Force pilots controlled the plane from the ground as it flew from a Florida base to the Gulf of Mexico.

I really dont see why this is such a big deal.  we've been doing this for decades with old airframes.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Yeah, I remember driving past Tyndall AFB in the Florida panhandle and seeing dozens of RC F4's from the highway.
