 one is the conventional takeoff and landing variant,
 the second is short takeoff and vertical-landing variant,
 and the third is a carrier-based variant.

 Click 'HERE' to watch this pilot have engine problems

Subj:     Pilot Jessica Cox (S641)
          From: tom
          on 4/23/2009
 Source1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuMHSFPOzpc
 Source2: http://www.rightfooted.com/

 Jessica Cox was born with no arms.  At an early age, Jessica
 learned to feed herself, write with her feet and play the
 piano.  Putting in contact lenses, washing and brushing her
 hair, and fixing breakfast in the morning are all tasks that
 come second-nature to her.  Jessica is a black belt in Tae
 Kwon-Do and is a professional motivational speaker.

 When first learning to drive, Jessica was encouraged to use
 special modifications.  Even after her car was modified, she
 decided to remove them and drive without.  She holds an
 unrestricted driver's license.

 As an undergraduate at the University of Arizona, Jessica
 attended classes taking notes with her feet.  At 25 words
 per minute, Jessica was able to type out her papers with a
 regular computer keyboard on the floor.

 In order to overcome her fear of flying, Jessica became
 the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.
 Click on source1, or 'HERE' for my file copy, to see a
 movie about her flying.

Subj:     Pilot Has A Runway Problem (S564c)
          From: LABLaughsAdult on  11/11/2007

 Back in the 60's we used to fly 747's.  Well one of the
 airlines came up with a fuel savings procedure that shuts
 down various systems and engines during taxi into the gate.
 Just so happened it was a Chief Pilot that was the first
 to try out this new procedure.  His name was John Chenault
 and he was the Chief at LAX.

 As John was approaching the ramp and turning into the gate
 after a long flight, the flight engineer was running the
 "new" taxi checklist and shutting down engines and switches.
 Shut down #3 and #4.  Hydraulic system two "b" pump ---off.
 Pneumatic system---set...etc etc..   Then as he finishes
 shutting down these systems, the Flight Engineer says...
 "What f ... ing knucklehead thought this up"!

 Just about that time Captain Chenault applied the brakes to
 stop the 747.  No brakes.  Caught on voice recorder: "we
 haven't got any brakes...s ..t!"

 The 747 entered Terminal Two at LAX through the glass
 and penetrated about 25 feet.

 At the FAA hearing all were sitting around the table
 listening to the voice recorder (CVR).  At about the time
 the recording aired the FE saying : "who the  f..k thought
 this one up?"  All eyes trained on the person sitting there
 who DID think it up....laughter broke out.

 FAA does not like laughter.  In an effort to bring some
 decorum back to the hearing an FAA inspector said "Captain
 Chenault...um...at what point did you realize you had a
 problem?"

 His (no s .. t answer) was ...."I think it was when I
 passed the cigarette machine in the terminal".

Subj:     US Pilot Shoots Terriorists (S658b)
          From: tom
          on 8/16/2009
 USAF A-10 at Work     READ BEFORE WATCHING

 This video was taken from inside the cockpit of an A-10
 by the pilot.  It was a night view.  What you see is from
 9,700 feet away (almost two miles).  Four terrorists are
 walking along a street with no clue that someone is watching
 them.....from almost 2 miles away in the dark..

 The A-10 fired a 30 mm cannon WITHOUT injuring the dog nearby,
 who escaped unharmed.  You can see the gun camera shake a
 bit as the pilot fires.  Then count about 4 seconds for the
 rounds to travel 2 miles.  Every tenth round is a tracer,
 so the bullets you actually see are every tenth.  They are
 getting hit with hundreds of rounds, but the dog is unscathed.

 Muzzle velocity on the 30mm cannon is 2,430 feet per second.
 The result is that four fewer guys won't be blowing up women
 and children anymore!  The dog, in the upper right, just
 safely gets the hell out of there.

 Only click 'HERE' if you are NOT faint of heart.
