News, but not the serious kind
Okay, what moron closed the sun roof?
Say, Blog Guy, I saw some photos of a solar-powered prototype aircraft being tested. That’s a pretty cool concept. Have you thought about making a solar version of that Basler BT-70 airplane of yours?
Yes, we tried that last year. It gets pretty hot in those solar things, what with going out of your way to absorb sunlight.
Ah, I hadn’t thought of that. So that would be bad.
No, that would be good. When passengers get hot we sell a lot of cold beers and cocktails, which is how airlines really make their money.
I didn’t know that. So you actually sent yours up for a real flight?
Sure. It took right off, beautifully.

@CrowGirl…you know, that’s the way Ghaddafi (GF)’s training his pilot recruits lately…
GF: “Pull the stick back, plane goes up. Turn left, plane tilts left, turn right, plane turns right. Understood?”
Pilot: “Er..excuse me Colonel, but how do we go down?”
GF: “Never mind that, leave that to NATO.”
