Wazzup With the Whatziss and the Whoziss

Rather than keep everyone on tenterhooks (as opposed to ninerhooks or 'lebenterhooks), I shall take great pleasure in announcing that everyone who guessed the Whatziss was a Hellfire launcher mounted on the wing of a Caravan was correct.

Those who guessed it was the *left* wing will report to Fishmugger immediately after the post for remedial training in recognizing the difference between left, right, and cheese.




This is what it looks like with the noisemaker on the rail.

And sorry, Rod and LaMigra, it's *not* YI-116. That one's strictly a training aircraft (the shot LaMigra linked was YI-116 in one of our training Zones) .

Now, as far as the Whoziss goes, I must say I'm shocked, *shocked*, I say that none of you oinkers gentlemen are sports enthusiasts.

Fine. I'll tell you anyway -- just wait for the burger ad to clear after you click the link

Needless to say, not *all* of them were there for the sim orientation -- but Jenn, Ari, Carly, Becca and Candace were.

*sigh*

Back to the Tropicana shipping crate...

That was a good 'un, Bill.  Quit being so dedicated and goof off more often, eh?
 
I did some work for one of the contractors that makes said missile. That puppy begins as a solid piece of aluminum weighing nearly a ton, and is machined down to a shell less than twelve pounds. And then all the guts and doors(okay: Hatches) and such are attached/inserted. Way coolness.
 
Goof off? Hey, this was all "LOD - Yes" stuff!

I got the chance to wander on the fixed-wing side because -- okay, the *why* is the subject for another post. Stay tuned for further details. With context.

Meanwhile, back to Playing with PowerPoint...
 
Bill, there has been this rumor going around, that you have a twisted sense of humor. I see nothing twisted in it. You would much rather see your humor twisted, than other *things*!

"Goof off? Hey, this was all 'LOD - Yes' stuff!" Please specify, what 'LOD'?  I think  there are a few other guys that would like to pull that kind of duty. Whatever you do, don't tell me you generated that context with Powerpoint!

Thanks, Bill. I think we all had a good time.
 
The only context I generate with PowerPoint is "this is what it means and how it works"  -- but I've done a dynamite presentation on brownout landings in dust and how to avoid them. All without using a single word.

I made it so simple that even a fixed-wing pilot can understand it.
