Maybe we should have tested the tip tank on both wings.

I think we could have got away with it if we didn't use an M1A2.

“Hmmmm… yes, as an art object it looks terrific just there, I agree, but could we not get some realistic decals for it?”

Hey! Mav, I’m sure that was the shooter down there waving at us!
One finger or two?
After this Mav better make it the whole bottle​​​​​!
Whisky or Bourbon but that another (thread) story!

NOT A CAPTION

Knife-edge humo(u)r in this flight of entries thus far! Will go to full afterburner/reheat this evening and call at 2300Z.

One of the major problems with the new super fast carriers became obvious later in the day

The new wingtip catapult system allowed several takeoffs to happen simultaneously, however Ingress and Egress proved to be a little more difficult

With a nudge from the wingtip, the ball smashed into the net and the boys of the Carl Vinson went one-nil up in the Intra-fleet Deck Polo finals

Great captions all, but the Christmas Eve Eve Eve Coffman Starter Trophy goes to Fly-by-Wife with: "I think we may have missed the wire..."

May you all trap the third wire and have a glorious holiday season.

Thanks cavuman - I am very surprised (but pleased ), given the really good competition!

I hope that this hasn't been used before:

Unfortunately the Company Commander got the slides mixed up and instead of sending this one he sent the "after" picture to his parents

Dear mum, this is apparently the height of fashion these days, they call it a shell suit, though I cannot understand the craze as it’s bloody heavy.
