Blue Angel slips on ice

[Shawnee McGrutt]

For all of you, that are into airplanes. Here is a news clip of a Blue Angel slipping on ice at the old Brunswick Naval Air Station today. The crew was here to promote the Maine Air Show. The video can be found at WGME.com, I thought it was sort of neat and would be of interest to some of you.

The most dangerous part of flying is getting to your airplane

[Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967]

Try this:

 

Ooops!

[Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172]

DON'T THOSE THINGS HAVE 3 WHEEL DRIVE FOR ICE AND SNOW?

[Utah Bob #35998]

Alas, they have no wheel drive.

[Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172]

Probably no snow plow either.

Yah, especially the drive to the airport.

[Harvey Mushman]

Thanks Shawnee.

BTDT, except for a few extra feet of taxi width...

[Major E A Sterner #12916]

forgot to put the studded tires on

[Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967]

So do they make tire chains for jet aeroplanes...?

 

Might be a missed opportunity!

[Utah Bob #35998]

Probably no snow plow either.

 

They can melt a lot of it though.

[Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172]

They can melt a lot of it though.

But on the wrong end.

 

I can do that too, but my wife frowns on it.

[Shawnee McGrutt]

Badger, you must go through a lot of underpants. I would lay off on the Mexican food.

[El Sabre]

That's an excellent way to earn a regrettable nickname.

Or end your days with the BAs
