We promised this for the week of Oshkosh, but somehow we got
sooo busy. Well, now, we've found the right low-level munchkin at
the office [me --ed.] to bail out the important people, and bring
you the results of what we used to call, "Name That Frame."
It's a "Caption Contest" now, though -- so would the winner
kindly send us his address, so we can properly reward him?
Thanks!
We had a lot of really funny captions, as we expected we would.
Here's a sampling:
A couple of you were thinking about
the recent demise of Meigs:
John: "Would someone please move Chicago!"
George: "Don't worry Mayor Daley, I'll talk you down."
Paul: "Ya know, I had a feeling that there would be too much
security at Oshkosh."
Richard watched the gate at the show: "400,000 and
counting!"
[No; we didn't notice until later that we
named John, George, Paul and Richard first. This isn't really
a Beatles thing, you know -- it's a Beagle thing. It just happened
that way --ed.]
Scott's thinking ahead: "Did someone say, 'Privatized ATC?'"
Jon sent three beauties:
- "Fido about to create his own graphical depiction of a
presidential TFR."
- "At least they’ve stopped making me wear the hat and
goggles."
- "This time I fly the plane and YOU cram yourself in the
#@?&! Pet Taxi!"
The dogs of air...
Alan probably has a dog: "ahhh Roger that, but it LOOKS like
newspaper!"
So does David: "Roger, left downwind squirt, and I'll keep it in
tight!"
Another David has a well-trained dog at home: "Roger. I
understand I am cleared to go...on the paper."
...But Wolfee's dog has a way to go: "beep...Ah, Capcam.....this
isn't news paper. beep"
John knows his pup: "WOODSTOCK, OSHKOSH TOWER. #2 behind
the Snoopy Doghouse. Cleared to
land."
Some of us spend too much time indoors...
David's been watching too many
television commercials: "Can you hear me now? Good!"
Darwin was so serious: "Dog Biscuits?! I've no time for that!
I'm vectoring Snoopy in on the Baron's position! Sheash!"
Daniel thinks this dog is a pretty good stick: "Oshkosh Tower,
Beagle One, Ready to go!"
'anonymous 1' sent, "Boy, these new cockpits really do have more
room to spread out, don't they?"
'anonymous 2' is probably an attorney: "This is discrimination:
these dont fit MY ears!"
Hillis, the engine guy, certainly needs an attorney: "I don't
care what that English guy said, I own all the BEAGLE Type
Certificates!"
Jeff's a diplomat: "Bring me some dinner, or I'll eat this
microphone."
Ira's flown with difficult PAX: "Next I suppose you'll want me
use a barf bag."
Ronnie: "Howdy folks. I think I'm lost!"
David appreciates training: "This certainly takes paper training
to a new level!"
Jim's got a motivated pet, we'll bet: "Couldn't I just stay home
and sleep?"
Getting close to home:
Steve: "If that darn ant Klyde Morris can fly, so can a
beagle!"
'anonymous 3' knows what goes on around here: "Canine to the
Zoomer...We have a problem..."
...and our winner, Ed Lachendro, of Beaver Dam,
Wisconsin:
"After I finish plotting this flight ...only 999,999 Young Beagles
to go!"
