Some might suggest I'm unduly harsh in my criticism of our government in general and a number of politicians in particular. Piffle. I think we should round up the current batch of politicians...load them into a C130 and then drop them, from a couple thousand feet up, into the caldera of an active volcano, as a gift to the Goddess Pele.
Being that I suspect Pele is going to be less than pleased with the presents I'd suggest firewalling the throttles after the last douchebag leaves the plane. I expect Pele to be rather...uhmmmm...LOUD in the expression of her discontent. As in she's going to blow the mountain and the island on which it resides into a very large smouldering cloud of cinder and ash, expression of displeasure.
Tie them all into a bundle...when you get over the volcano firewall the throttles, light off the JATO bottles and nose straight up...that way they all go out at once (like a FAE bomb) and you can make a clean getaway. :D
ReplyDeletethey won't stay bundled you know...and the Herc would bitch unmercifully about the aerobatics...
DeleteThey only need to stay bundled long enough to go off the ramp...and the Herc is a tough old bird...
DeleteTrue and True. But you always have to be wary of Murphy in a situation like that....
DeleteMaybe you could take it up with your operational line mamager...
