Cool airplanes though, and some of the most phenominal people you will ever meet.

I too got out as an E6. Just to damn many mechs in this man's Navy! Of course, when I 'put in my papers', they told me that I made Chief! Yeah, right!

AEROPLANE: The Human races answer to GOD not allowing humans to fly
God made stars in the sky, and decided they were good.
Humans made rubber tires, and speed rated them with a load rating of "E"
God made rivers, and decided they were good...
Humans went on to build engines with high RPM ratings, and called them phenominal!
The stars still shine, and the rivers still run.
The tire treads seperated, and the engines finally cranked rods through the blocks...
Good, just good....
(Paraphrasing Bill Cosby of course)
An airplane is an unnatural act taking place, made out of parts built by people who never really talked to eachother personally, and operated by someone that doesn't have the time or ability to double check every single piece of it.
In the best of all possible scenarios - we can create a paper trail so that we can in fact blame someone at least for whatever eventually happens...
Thereafter we write technical bulletins so that everyone does their job right in the first place....
