Practical Jokes / Pranks
Best and worst I've seen/heard in person. Two ship ocean crossing after a few months in the desert. New navigator on other airplane is REALLY homesick and missing his frau. His crew tells him about the MARS radio system and he listens as the AC makes a call and gets a phone patch to home. Cherry Navigator is very excited and wants to do the same. Unbeknownst to Cherry Navigator both airplanes change HF freqs to a non-MARS freq, Cherry Navs begins calling at which point nav in my airplane posing as a MARS operator responds and sets up a "phone patch to frau". A very gruff and deep voice answers the "phone patch" and explains the fraa is not available, she is in the shower. As the conversation goes on the voice on the other ends explains said Frau wants nothing to do with Navigator husband anymore...Said navigator was near tears as were we from laughing all the way to Westover.

- World's Dumbest Pilots
World's Dumbest Pilots ...In 2008, pilot Jeffrey Paul Bradford tried to spice up his time in Harrisburg, PA, with stewardess Adrianna Connor. After dinner and drinks, the Pinnacle Airlines employees dashed into the nearby woods for a romp. When they got separated, she got lost and he hid in a barn.- F-15E Down in Libya

- Can we get rid of Combat Camera?
Sorry my rhetoric did not properly transmit...what I should have said was get rid of USAF PA.- Can we get rid of Combat Camera?
So on the AF.MIL website they have a story celebrating the 50th anniversary of the T-38. For some reason our USAF PA folks decided to use a copyrighted picture from Jo Hunter (below), does that mean that after operating the jet for 50 years we could not find a suitable picture of our own? Time to close Combat Camera in the name of efficiency.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

- USAA
I think its been covered in another thread, but short story...USAA helped my buy and finance a house (actually their investment folks suggested it). PCSed away and kept the home as a rental. When I returned we purchased a bigger home (again using USAA, who advised me to keep the first home as an investment), they immediately dropped my homeowners coverage on the rental because it was in Florida and the refuse to insure more than your primary residence (even if the suggest it). Went round and round, told them I was taking ALL my business elsewhere and they did not believe me...so I moved four mutual funds, canceled our credit card, other home owners and car insurance.- Earthquake/Tsunami in Japan
- how to get FAA ratings in Little Rock?
Back when Orville, Wilbur and I went through UPT, they gave the you had the option of taking the written right before graduation. I left UPT with a Commercial Multi-Engine with a center line thrust restriction. When I went to Little Rock for AC school I took my logbook and Form 8 down to the FAA office and they removed the thrust restriction in about five minutes.- Earthquake/Tsunami in Japan
