I still think they are funny. I have left my favorite ones above. In reference to the "mouse in cockpit", today there are 2 "mouse" in the cockpit. They have a fancy name-- Cursor Control Units or CCU for short. The dials and gages of past have now been replaced by a monitor (actually 4 monitors) called Primary Flight Display or Secondary Flight Display (Multifunction Flight Display). Two of these displays are for the pilot and the other two are for the co-pilot. The new breed of locos also have computer displays, but some of our rr buddies will have to tell us what they call them. Also today many jet aircraft are tri-jets, meaning they have 3 engines not 2 or 4. The #2 engine is not on a wing but located above the cabin or on the tail. [;)] <br /> <br />A friend of mine worked at the local Army Nationaly Guard base as a contractor (he was not a military person). He told me that many time the pilots would act like big shots and belittle them. So to get back at the pilots they would write a squak on the coffee maker, and lock out the circuit breaker. Therefore, the pilots would not be able to make or drink coffee during the next flight. [:(] LOL He said after they did this the pilots were always nicer when they returned from a long flight. [:D] <br /> <br />Have a great day. <br /> <br />Stay Safe , and remember Look, Listen, and Live <br /> <br />Don't forget the troops.
