A 90 year-old pilot is having breakfast at the airport with his son.

"I've got to get my medical next week. If Doc don't pass me I'm gonna
get in the Super Cub and fly out over the ocean til it runs out of

gas."

"Dad, NO!... Not the Super Cub."


... A pilot's Pitts is a real personal piece of equipment for sure, (sort
of
like flying while inside a red prophylactic actually) I don't think ole'
Curtis down there in Homestead would have approved much if one of his
birds ended up being used for a lawn dart though. A real bad end for a
real good airplane.

Gosh Dudley, you must be psychic. His Pitts was red! :-)


That would rank right up there with guessing the Cub was yellow...
