    That's close enough. The Pope, drive-by-Bob, and I rebuilt the club DC-3 down at the IOMH International Airport, and we are curious to see if it will fly. The three of are usually too stoned to fly, so we just fix em, stoned. I think most of it is back together right. The tricycle landing gear had us stumped for awhile, but we finally got the bastid on.

    Don't forget that model uses Vaseline for strut lube.

    The only strut lube allowed on the Island is K-Y. Most of our struts are very well lubed.

    A DC-3? .......yeah? ......damn for the life of me I thought that thing was a broken down Beech 18..... it must've been the half busted off tail that threw me.....
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

    You're confusing the DC-3 with Amelia's Lockheed Electra. That one stays here.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    No, but I've seen a pink vibrator with a 2 cycle engine attached. Bought my wife one for her birthday once. She blew it up.
