St. Thomas, ON, July 2007
When you fly commercial, you get a tiny, scratched, plastic porthole to see the world slip by below. When you're a pilot-in-training for the Canadian Armed Forces, you get to sit in a bubble. I guess it makes buzzing your mom's house a little easier.
Your turn: I need help naming this photo. Click on the Comments link below and suggest something funny, witty or just plain nutty. Enter as often as you wish, because multiples are always welcome. Mark your calendars for next Sunday, when we name the winner and post a new one.
About last week's photo of ice skates: Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. The Canadian in me loves images like this, as they serve as reminders of the warmth one finds in the the middle of a prohibitively cold climate. It shapes us in many ways, and I'll keep snapping pics that tell that slice of the Canadian story.
But enough about my Canuckness. You want to know who won, right? First, our honorable menschens:
- Terri: "Bladerunner."
- TheMuddledMarketPlace: "Inline skating."
- Cloudia: "The Swiss Army's crack guerilla units are ready for anything."
- Mojo: "I tell you if it hadn't been for that French judge..."
- David: "Slices of life."
- Jill: "Go figure."
- Anne: "Axel dreaming."
- Robin: "Axel rows."

Doh ! I was thinking so much on the caption that I forgot to say Netchick sent me ...
"No-fly zone around the cricket !"
(inspired by the highlights I'm watching of the NZ v India game - definite threat to low flying aircraft in that game!)
"Holy Crap, zoomed in too far."

Parachute! Check!
Thanks for the menschen from last week! I hadn't played for a while, so it was good to get back in the groove. Sort of.
I figure it probably isn't, but this bears a striking resemblance to the North American Aircraft P-51 Mustang of the late WWII era. Had the Army Air Corps fielded that plane earlier, it could have shortened the war considerably. There were rumors that it would be revived and updated for use as a close air support attack fighter, but as far as I know nothing ever came of that.
Ah yes. Captions. As many responses as this photo stirs, most of them aren't exactly clever. But I'll have a go anyway.
"Good and Prop-er"
"Look Ma, No Wires!"
"Table for One"
"This is not your father's Oldsmobile."
"New Wiper Blades?"
"Heaven's Nose"
"Please remain seated with your seat belts fastened..."
"Champagne and Canopies will be served once we reach our cruising altitude."
"Altitude Adjustment"
Yeah... that's kinda what I thought too.
Wow! Cool pic, Carmi!
