6. Those magnificent men in their flying machines,
   they go up tiddly up up,
   they go down tiddly down down.
   They enchant all the ladies and steal all the scenes,
   with their up tiddly up up
   and their down tiddly down down.

   Up, down, flying around,
   looping the loop and defying the ground… sometimes!

7. OT I can’t not tell this story about the 6 Day War. Before the war Russians trained Egyptian pilots how to take off, drop bombs, and other attack maneuvers. One day Mohammad asked Vladimir, ” When are you going to teach us how to land?” Vlad replied, Don’t worry, the Israelis will teach you how to land…

13. Several years ago, I worked on a Venezuelan executive jet that was eat up with corrosion. The Colonel that was with it said if I found any more, he would be put in prison. (Oh well…) I figure by now, he’s pushing a tamale cart around. One afternoon, this guy and the two pilots left the hangar and backed into the wingtip of a Falcon. Good times.
