Gear down?

This can be described as one of those ’Moments’ …     

Landing on runway 31 at Diego Garcia, skidding 7,500 feet down the runway.

The aircraft was landing at the end of an 11 hour ferry mission that started at
Andersen AFB , Guam . During the landing, the B-1B caught fire and emergency
Crews extinguished the flames. The four-person aircrew escaped from the plane
Through the overhead escape hatch. The aircraft was finally removed from the
Runway 4 days later.

The Air Force Accident Investigation concluded the pilots forgot to lower the
Landing gear.
The USAF estimated the damage to the B-1B at $7.9 million, and the damage
To the runway at $14,025. RBRM and those old SEABEES made one tough
Runway, that ’ s for sure!

Forwarded to those of you who have never seen a $285,000,000.00 bomber on the deck,
Here she is:

Little Girl on the plan

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, ‘Let’s talk. I’ve heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.’

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, ‘What would you like to talk about?’

‘Oh, I don’t know,’ said the stranger. ‘How about nuclear power?’ and he smiles.

OK, ’ she said. ‘That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass - . Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?’

The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, ‘Hmmm, I have no idea.’

To which the little girl replies, ‘Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don’t know shit? ’
