i wonder what the passengers were thinking...
Mabel weren't we supposed to have landed an hour ago ?
Burt you gotta quit drinking on these flights.
and the ANG intercept jets were spooling up in the event of a SHOOT DOWN and don't you just hate looking out the window on your 747 to see an F-14/15/16/18 pull up and see the pilot point at you and then at the ground ??? don't know about you, but i always wet myself ( sometimes even releasing solid matter into my chorts ) when i see a Fighter Jet fully armed bristling with those missiley things under the wings with a pilot's itchy trigger finger hovering over the switch that is lit up bright red.
